Once spawning is complete and the female is safely removed, the male will guard the nest and any eggs that fall out will be put back into the nest. You need to leave a light on the tank (or nearby) so that he can see the eggs that may fall at night. After two or three days, the eggs will hatch and tiny (very tiny!) fry can be seen hanging from the nest. Now his job gets much harder, as the fry wiggle and fall out of the nest more frequently and the male has to keep up with them. In about two to three more days, the fry will begin to swim on their own horizontally. Now you can remove the male - his job is done.
STEP 7: Raising the fry
Once the fry are free-swimming, they need to eat lots of tiny food particles. They won’t usually eat for the first five or six days after hatching, but then you can feed live food and small flakes or pellets. “Liqui-fry for egg-layers” works great, as do micro-worms and vinegar eels. Now the filter may be turned back on (at a low rate). Keep the temperature at 80 degrees F, and leave the lid on the tank as warmth is crucial to the fry developing properly. Water changes may be started two weeks after they are free-swimming, after they are strong enough to swim away from the siphon. Keep this up for two to three months, when the young males will start to develop their characteristics - fins will elongate and aggression will increase. When the fish are three or four months old, wean them to frozen food and pelleted diet.
