in a com tank

[slicksta]

I've had a pair breeding in a com tank for a couple of spawns now and it's starting to get to me....the last 2 made it to free swimming only to get picked off 1 by 1 by tetras....The parents can't keep up with 50 free swimmers no matter how hard they try...
Tomorrow looks like I may be at that stage again... :(
??? ???The only available tank I have is a 12 gallon, but I'm not sure if or how I could proceed.......any input ??? ???

Put the tetras, etc. in the 12 gallon

I have about 30 tetras 12 other discus plus 3 angles and a few cory(though I think they would not be a problem) wont the angles and other discus try them for lunch as well?

Time for another tank then, John. ;)

I do have a 75 that I am using to grow out a few fish but there not done yet......my plan is to put the pair there at that point, but this is hard to keep watching....they really are doing a fine job of protecting, but the odds are against them.
I guess I know what needs to be done....but I just need to vent a little
