manoffish Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hello. Welcome to AA. There are a few things you can do to with the fry. First is leave the mother in the tank and hope for the best (if you would like to leave the fry in your tank you can buy decoration or mating plats to help their survival rate) or you can set up a tank for the female to give birth in then removed. last is buying a fry trap or breeding net. Just my two cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
