Babies!!

[Mista Majic]

i was cleanin my tank today removing all my large rocks and i noticed 3 little baby fish ... i have a 29gal cichlid tank and none of the fish are the same kind in there except 2 upside down cats which are not full grown i dont think

how can i got about gettin the babies out without putting them in danger of being eaten by the other fish

If they are small siphon them out

i never thought about that could i keep them in a net or something in my tank or do i need another tankto raise them

 

[yvez9]

an other tank is ideal if you have one ready
a net should be fine though

it could be a hybrid, what fish are in the 29?

you can get breeding tanks that sit inside your original tank.
