Well I've had my bangaii's for about 6 months and 2 days ago i noticed the males jaw was puffed out... then i noticed the female doing a weird shakey dance with something coming out of her cloaca. Now that it looks like i might have some bangaii babies in a few weeks, where should i raise the fry?

My main tank is a standard 90g perfecto with corner over flow and i have a 30g sump/fuge. my fuge is around 10g in volume and has low flow and overflows on one side to the return. Is that a good place to raise the fry? I wouldn't have to worry about ammonia building up and there would be plenty of live food for them to eat... even tho i plan on feeding them 3 times a day anyways. once they get large enough to eat frozen food i would move them to a larger, separate tank.

Or should i set up another tank? the only reason i dont want to do that is because a day before i noticed the mouth full of eggs, i bought a couple of fish and they are using my QT tank so i could only set up a 10g. And i dont want to worry about 2 QT tanks.

I've never raised fish before so a little advise would be nice! Hopefully my black ocellaris clowns will spawn at some time
 
For what it is worth, I have a pair that spawn all the time. One of the fry got into the overflow and lived. Another one got into the sump and also lived. They were both big enough for frozen mysis when I found them.
 
those sites were a lot of help, but i still want to know if there is anything wrong with raising the fry in my fuge until they get big enough for frozen foods?
