You cant leave the parents in with the fry? is the tank too small or something?
Hi, I thought that once the fry got over a few weeks old the parents would stop looking after them and eat them or push them into the open and they would be eaten by the other fish. point is - I have only got 1 tank - it is 110 ltre (39") long - plenty of roomas only got about 20 fish - problem I have is that I am sure that some of the other fish in the tank ate the first batch of fry - I have angels, platys, plec - I have now managed to catch about 20 fry and put them in a small nursery in the tank but if I get another smaller tank do you think the parrot fish will carry on breeding and also what would happen once the fry in the nursery get bigger - I could do with a few pointers and ideas on how to keep them breeding and what I should do with each batch of fry - my local shop said they would buy them off me when they are bigger but I would like to get them bigger if you see what I mean.
