How big are the fry when born?
I think I have 100 or so, but they are so small that you can barely even see them!

Nice video, have only got mine to the egg hatched stage myself. A damn cory ate them when the female had moved them into a pit, because the female noticed my water change in the tank and got scared and didn't pay attention. Great eggwatching until then though, light on for 3 days :P Hopefully I can get them going again after I redo the tank setup now.

Gorgeous tank. Amazed the parents aren't eating the fry.
As I said, they move the young back into the group by sucking them up and blowing them out. Although young parents will often eat their young.

They do that a bit if they're inexperienced parents, but they grow out of it. You see them picking them up with their mouth and moving them back into the cloud quite a lot.
Interesting now this pair are older they do that a lot less now and while still protective of the fry don't go picking them up quite as much.
