hi,
i took out my 13 day babies from the tank on monday because mum was killing dad, she wanted to lay again and he was busy with the babies.
after 1 day without babies they layed a super clutch of eggs about 350-375 eggs last night.
This morning dad was attacking mum quite bad so i had to take one of them out, the dad was a better parent but only after a few days of free swimming, mum did the fanning moving and she was darkest so they babies attached well, then he did most the feeding.
My problem is i took dad out but am not sure if that was the right choice. what would you have done with the facts i have put down?
plaese give me your oppinions or experiances i know dads are supposed to be better but could i switch them after a few days free swimming? assuming i get that far?

P.s pic is mum with what i call nearly 400 eggs but even with the pic it's hard to count
