Question
how do i take care of my fry? when do i remove parents? can you please help? thy have been put in  a ten gal tank by them selfs.

Answer
The best thing to do is to make sure they have food.  Food is important to fry.  Feed them micro worms, baby brine shrimp, and crushed flake food until they can eat larger food.  Clean water is important too.  The parents should be removed after the first two weeks to one month... when the babies scatter and the parents no longer try to keep them together.  How many fry do you have???? How old are they????
