I have 2 gold edge rivulata who have bred and I now have about 200 free swimming babies. This is the second breeding, the first time the babies all disappeared and I have been told they were probably eaten by the parents. I have removed the parents into a smaller tank and left the babies to grow in the 125 litre tank. The parents killed the knife fish and the silver dollar. How long before the babies are ready to leave, what is the best food for them, how do I prevent them breeding again and if they do, what do I do with the fry, is a gold edge rivulata the same as a green terror? So many questions, can anyone help? Cheers

you should of just left the parents in there tank. and took some fry out. the parents are just beginners so just give them time and they'll get it right
