[gemini aquarius(t)]

ok so i see alot of posts having to do with the raising of fry takin away from the parents and although i understand you will get more babies, wont you get a better hatch rate with the parents doing what they know how to do?
also it might save space from extra tanks

please let me know what equipment i would need to do a simple little setup to raise the fry from 1 maybe 2 sets of parents

thanks in advance

In my experience the hatch rate is better when the parents are there to help out, but not by much, and collecting all the larvae and moving them to a proper tank (a must) can be tricky, so it is sometimes easier to move the eggs to another tank shortly before hatching.

Some good information if you haven't checked it out:
