My breading pair of Jewels who have bullied their way through 4 Red Top Ice Blues and have spawned (and eaten) a plethera of their own clutches, are now the only two in the tank besides the pleco. Now after having spawned once more being the only tank mates the baby fish fry are getting bigger and bigger and they have yet to eat them! What am I going to do with all them if they grow up?!? Help...
OMG! Why aren't they eating them now?

Find something to eat them before they grow too large. A raphael catfish would likely take care of them, just make sure it has a suitable hiding place.
It may come to that...usually they lay a clutch and eat the previous fry right about the time the eggs start wrigglin. I'm confounded as to why they have not continued the trend. Maybe bc there there isn't any competition besides my sail-fin pleco? No LFS will buy Jewel fry; I'm getting a little attached to this clutch I've never seen them get this big before! =(
Or give them away or offer on Craigslist no one will buy them this follows the trend around the states..
