My red devils just had fry. They were only together maybe a week. He used to beat her up all the time, hence the separation, but this time they got along. And now they have young. When am I able to remove the fry from the tank and should I remove the parents??
 
congradulations..that is exciting.. post pictures as they grow..
 
you should seperate the fry either when they are free swimming and raise them yourself or take the chance and wait till the parents raise them and take them out in a month or so..
 
After you remove the fry, be ready to separate the parents, the male may kill the female
 
what i used to do is put my male and female in seperate 55 gals when my female laid eggs i would put the male in with her...when the young started to hatch and free swim i took the parents out and seperated them into there own 55gal again...so i used three 55 gals...sad my male died two months ago he was 6years young.
