tanks

Question
and if I should separate the mother from the eggs, what size tank do i need to put her in, or does that matter at all?

Answer
Hanna,
Yes you do separate the female from the eggs. The male will stay in the tank with the eggs and young fry for about 48 hours. Place the mother in a tank that is at least 2.5 gallons. Make sure you feed her well and that her heater is on and set to 82 degrees.
