Hi Ken,

Thanks for the comments. The tank they were in was a 36x12x15 along with 8 adults. The fry have now been moved into another tank of the same dimensions, cited directly over the adults tank. The fry tank has an overflow pipe straight into the adult tank, and an external filter which pumps water from the bottom tank and into the top.

Lol thanks for the kind responses guys. :D

@Gecko

I have 8 adults, I'm not totally sure on the exact ratio but it 'should' be 4 males and 4 females. 2 females have spawned with 2 of the males, so those are certain.
Out of the last 4, 2 I bought as females from someone who shall remain nameless in Germany *cough*IMER*cough*..and so far they have done nothing lol! and the last two I'm pretty sure are males.

I think you should, unless you've trained them to the the chorus ensemble from striptease or something, fry just sitting around are represented well enough in still shots
