I've got some fry about 5 days out of mom's mouth, and another g. stein female holding. I moved the 1st female w/ fry to a small (5-7 gal?) holding tank. Questions: How do I make sure the babies are eating, when momma still sucks them up when I get close? [right now I'm just over-feeding, hoping they eat the excess.] And, do you think it'd be ok to add the 2nd female in a couple of weeks, when her eggs/fry are too large for her to swallow with the stress of the move? Can the girls get along?
