Okay, thanks! Mine are in a 20 gallon so I will get a sponge filter sized for it tomorrow. The outside filter was filtering at 300 gallons per hour. I am fearful the fry would get sucked up the intake tube.

I use a box filter in the breeding tank.

Thank you, Willie! The first photo is the Ica Red from Kenny's June shipment. The second photo is the actual Ica Red female botom of photo that I got from Kenny 3 weeks ago. The third photos is the Red Alenquer male, the one near left of the filter, that from Kenny 1 year ago. The male has a blue striation forming an "F", you can see it on his forehead.
Up date. At ninety hours (or 5 hours short of 4 days) i did I WC 40%. There are around 40 wigglers. The male pays attention to them but chases the female away when she gets to near. I added a sponge filter today. I got my first ever TDS meter today. Now I know that the water temp is 81 degrees and the TDS is 285.The ph is 7.6 and the KH is 100. My tap water is 132 TDS and the community tank next the the breeding tank, although I had not yet do a water change today, is 138 TDS. The male has moved the wiggles around on the flower pot so that they are not next to each other any longer.
Good luck! They should be free swimming by now.
Are you using any night light for the breeding tank?
