should i be mvoing baby fry to their tank?
i keep moving them to a 2.5 gallon tank which i raise my fry to about 1/4 inches.
When moving, i guess it put stress on them somehow, they don’t usually stay alive within the move.
I try to avoid moving fry, but if I must I use a small cup to capture them in with a bit of tank water. I’ve never had any success moving them with a net, just to fragile I imagine.

ya..the fry are quite a bit fragile…
the fry usually appear on the right side of my divider, they must have squeeze under the divider…i am now seeing them appear more often on teh right side.
This is good for me cause, i don’t have to move the parent back and forth on each side.
A couple days ago, i took half of the tank water in the fry grow out tank and add the water from the breeder tank to it. the two fry seems to survive.
I guess i should wait a couple days until the fry get a bit stronger and then move it. If i should have done this earlier, i would have more baby frys.
