got a spare 4ft to go in until i work out what to do with them.my red devils have been together from babies so thats probably why they bred,as you say the males once on there own for a while wont tolerate any other fish.now lets hope my midas do the same.......
quick update,red devil fry are free swimming now so will be going in a tank on there own very soon. does anyone know they best way of moving fry as i believe they cant leave the water at all at this age?any ideas would be greatly appreciated Click to view attachment

Don't know if it's a good idea? But you could do a siphon into a bucket "suck em up"
Oh and congrats on the fry
