Lyretail Chromis laying eggs like crazy!

[tjl116]

hi all I'm new to this site, anyways i bought 3 Lyretail Chromis 3 weeks ago and one has laid eggs and another is building a nest to lay eggs . well i want to set up a rearing tank but have no clue on how to do it. also should i remove the rock with the eggs? it appears that the male is the one tending the eggs and chases off both females. do i need to put the parent fish in the rearing tank or not?
thanks

For some quick reading, try the below link. Basically, chromis are similar to damsels, and clownfish. You could try raising them using the clownfish methods, which also means you might want to pick up the Joyce's clownfish book. Try a search on RC (it only works sometmes)
