I have an unexpected batch of eggs in my display tank. There now 24hrs old and are looking good.
Id like to try and raise them if possible.
Question is when to remove them?
I can get the egg out easy because there on the magnet.

Options I can think of:
1. move everyone now and hope they don't stress out
2. wait till there swimers
3. Segregate them in the display
4. ?
advise please

They look good to me. What strain are the parents ?

You may get a difference of opinions from others but if you know which pair formed you can pull them out in a separate tank along with eggs but the chance of them tending to eggs are not likely.

There is another option is to get a floating breeder box inside display tank and place magnet with eggs inside along with a small air stone set really low just enough for current as the parents would do when they fan them.
Something like this.... http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?96264-Artificial-Rearing-of-Fry

I would try the second option and if they hatch I would consider getting the parents in their own tank...
