A pair of german blue rams have just spawned and produced a mass of fry, about 200. They are alone so i do not have to worry about other fish eating the fry.
At the moment, the parents are herding them around the tank. Interestingly, they followed the parents to where they were fed. They also seem to hang around about where an indian almond leaf is lying. Iv read somewhere the fry eat the microfauna that live of the leaf?
Will the parents either bring the fry along themselves or do i need to step in and feed them before they die off? Are they safe alone with the parents?
My intent, is to bring up the fry in the same tank as the parents, if they are not eaten! Can anyone give advise on what i should do to bring them along?
