"The fry can be fed freshly hatched brine shrimp and powdered flake food. This, together with the cloud of chewed food the parents spit out after feeding, should see them safely through the 14-21 day stage, when they should be removed to a separate aquarium for growing on." Here is some food for thought Joe, you can siphon the babies out with a tube from the air pump and give them their own little tank for now (maybe a goldfish bowl with established tank water and an aireator?) and you could feed them. That way there aren't any predators in the tank eating them, and you won't have to leave the lights on 24/7. Did this with the remaining convicts I had. I also recall buying fry food, a liquid that comes in a tube, but can't remember if I bought that for the baby convicts or for the baby siamnese fighting fish I raised. If you move the parents they will be stressed and will eat the babies anyway. And yes, they will spawn again and again if they are anything like the convict. Ask me about the baby red rat snakes I raised from hatchlings some time when we both have time! Brenda :)
