Just Making Sure When To Remove Daddy From Tank And Start Feeding Fry.

[Ogrt48]

Well last year my attempt at breeding went sour since I didn't do much research. I'm pretty sure I got it all right this time. Even got my pair to spawn within hours of putting them in with each other and no nipped fins at all. This all happened Monday at 3pm.
I just want to make sure when I should start removing the dad from the tank and when I should start feeding the fry some egg yolk. I noticed last night that the eggs or whatever was falling from the nest and daddy was putting them back in. Today the nest is much larger but I haven't seen any fall out, but daddy stays under it 24/7 looking up into it.

If they spawned at 3pm on monday then I would estimate that they would hatch early on Wednesday morning so would become free-swimming on Friday morning. They then don't need daddy but do need feeding as will have used up their yolk sac.

Hope this helps
