Question
i have to servum chilids that had a bunch of fry there about a week and a couple days old i need to clean the tank and i was wondering if i can put the fry in a seperate fish tank and raise them or do they still need to be with there parents. i notice that they are still protectin them cause i started netting some out and have gotten bitten by one

Answer
Hi Robert,
 I like to leave the fry in with the parents for at least 2 to 3 weeks.  The fry do much better with the parents than if you try to raise them alone.
