I'm not sure what to do now (fry question)

Well I just counted 4 fry in total there may be more in there that I haven't seen yet.
I'm sure the other mother that is holding still has got more fry than the one that has spit already. She has a very pronounced "chin/throat"
 
Then, she will spit more fry, dmm28!
 
Sorry if I'm sounding like a dummy. This is all new to me and I don't really know what to expect.
 
Ahh your fine dmm28 you have to start somewhere buddy.. plus i hear papaw efors can be a little cranky if he doesn't get his prune juice hehehehe... just joshen efors..:duh:
 
No problem, dmm28! Just wait until she spits the fry naturally and then return her back to the main tank. :thm:
What I drink every day is cranberry juice, Pitt! Joshen, what's that...irish for kidding?

I dont mean to take over thread, but its not worth a new thread. Watching the females holding for the first time is a amazing experience. Its neat for the kids to see to.
I just put my red zebra, which is holding, in a 20g tank half full of water i just set up a few hours ago. I was going to let the fry take their chances in 55g the female came from. I already have a 29g with fry from her ( 2 sets of fry ago) which are almost but not ready to be sold or traded in yet . The last time she had fry though i put the female in 29g tank and the older fry at the time (i sold already) ate the new fry. They were not that much bigger. This is kind of inconvient to me because i'm in a small townhome so setting up a 3rd tank again is not what i wanted to do. Inless my yellow labs spawn i will let my future fry take their chances in the other 2 tanks.
I just thought i would reply.
Good luck with ur fry.
 
Sad experience but a great lesson to share, vanpudin!
 
In my tank the red zebra has already has been releasing fry. Spotted one this morning. Hopefully i'll have her back in her tank in a few days.
 
Hey efors joshen is slang for kidding hehehe.. Todays History lesson - actually joshing is from Josh Tatum a deaf mute from the late 1800's in the US states where he went around using fake currency to gain extra money more so like counterfitting fake bills today but he used nickels that were electropainted gold..
 
So after coming home from an evening out. I checked on the lone female that's left in the 20 gallon and low and behold she has spit too!! So far as I can see or count so far there's about 12 fry total now. I'm gonna move her back into the main tank before she gets a chance to eat any of them.

woohoo I'm so excited!
