I wait to pull the spawning tube until the fry are wiggling, to avoid the fungus issue. However, I have pulled them early before, and I just piped in some air since I already had the 1/4 inch PVC going.

The fry are large enough to eat microworms right off the bat, but its a good idea to add java moss for good measure, and if handy, a good sponge filter squeezing or two.
