Mine usually spawn in a flower pot so I just take the whole flower pot out and put it in my fry tank,but be warned if there are existing fry in there, they will probably eat the eggs so you will need a divider or you can put the whole pot in a breeder net (which is what I did). I then just put another empty flower pot in my big tank and 3 weeks later, I got more eggs.....
I have a constant supply of convict fry and both of my LFS take them for store credit :thumb:
Con fry are very hardy too. Out of 4 broods, I have only lost a couple of fry.
I have also waited until they are free swimming a couple of days, but it can be a pain to siphon them out, but its also cool watching the parents fend of fish 3 times their size.
Too bad your not in ATL, id trade you a whole brood for a few sal fry!
Anyone else reading this post coming to the ACA next weekend in the ATL?
