I need any advice anyone can offer. I knew my gbr's were up to something when they suddenly took a liking to a rock in the back corner of the tank that is heavily hidden by plants. This morning the entire rock was covered in eggs. I have read a lot about the care of gbr fry but I would like some advice from people I know have taken care of small fry, gbr or otherwise. The tank these particular fish are in is a 16 gallon bowfront. Its heavily planted and they currently share the tank with a platy, 5 rummy nose tetras, 2 corys, 1 small SAE, and 2 African dwarf frogs. I know I want to remove the platy and SAE but do the others need to go too? I also read the male can become aggressive to the female after the fry become free swimming. Should I plan on removing the female? Lastly, I read that the fry should be fed microworms and bbs.... Anything else anyone can recommend?
