Hey guys, as some of you may know, I'm currently growing out my first ever batch of apistogramma cacatuoides fry. I have another question and hoping some of you can help as I have received so many helpful answers in the past.
My current batch is growing close to a size where I am going to sell them soon. I currently have a second batch growing out in my community tank (sorry mike, I know i shouldn't but it was the gf's choice not mine). When I sell the juvies I would like to remove the mother and fry and put them all into the grow out tank together untill I sell the young juvies because I do not have enough room for the pair to keep spawning.
I am not allowed to purchase another tank, and I need to separate the male and female to stop breeding as I will be traveling soon and the gf will not be able to care for any fry.
My question is will the fry be OK with mom for 2-3 months? Will she turn on them before then? Any advice at all on what I can do?
