New bangaii Babies! Safe in a Fuge? vid of eating.

[Radioheadx14]

First off... my male Bangaii cardinal just spit out 4 babies and still has a mouth full. I have him in my fuge (~ 10-12g) so they have good water quality and are out of harm from pumps and other fish.

Is there anything in a fuge that will eat them? nassarius, cerith, bristle worms, spaghetti worms?

They have been out for 2 hours at most and already ate a ton of baby brine shrimp i hatched yesterday. Any advise for a first time breeder?

how mant days did the male hold the eggs/fry in his mouth??

I noticed him with the eggs in his mouth on 12/26, so thats 27 days that he's carried them. I saw him open his mouth and there seemed to be another 5-10 still in his mouth. maybe they will be release by the morning. I also noticed, of the 4 released, one has a big belly and doesnt look good, 2 are eating but rather small and one looks a lot more like and adult bangaii.... just way smaller and that one is swimming around more.
