As you can see I have finally have some eggs. I was in the process of setting up a separate tank and removing the parents to the new tank with the intake tube. Our electric just went out and my priorities shifted to keeping tank warm. SO, I started wrapping blankets around the tank and so on. Anyway, by the time I had the tank set up and the electric back on my cory's got to them.

It was my first spawn.
1. If I choose to let them spawn again, should I remove them to a separate tank now or is there generally an estimated time between spawns?
2. Will that pair remain together?
3. Will their spawn spin others to spawn?

Personally I would leave them to it and see if they will answer 2 and 3 for you. The spawning cycle is generally between 4 or 7 days. Allowing them to remain where they are will help mature them as a pair and allow them to confirm themselves prior to removal to a breeding tank. This pair appears to be a non-PB and a PB. Not a good pairing as the fry will be heavy peppered.
