Hi,
What is the easy way to move newly hatch babies from the cave ?
(Male is in the cave)

When I wish to move fry as you describe, I move the entire cave with dan and fry in it. I submerge a 1 quart measuring cup, gently move the whole cave into it and then move it all to the new tank where I reverse the process.

I usually do this as close to fry kickout time as i can judge. Most times the fry will all be out of the cave in 24-48 hours and I then return dad and cave to its original spot in the breeder tank.

Put the cave in an angle over 45 degrees with opening down in a breeder, the male will not like it and leave the cave after a while you can easy remove the wigglers then by gently shaking he cave.

Don't. If he is in the cave tending to newly hatched offspring, best let him do it.

I move dad & fry around the same age as TTA, as to have least chance of any danger to fry.

I do water changes from the main tank to the fry tank over a week period, then move fry & dad, i have had no casualty's luckily it works for me .
