My Endler's breeding tank has the obvious Endler's, panda cories, and a pair of otos. Just over a month ago I noticed eggs, which I guessed were from the cories because of their placement on the anacharis and java moss.

I managed to rescue some of them and ended up with two fry. I'm still unsure what they are, but they're doing well and growing in a breeder net in the tank.

I've never had problems with either the cories or the otos eating my Endler's fry, which are rather small when first born. The net is nice for safety, but it really does get messy. The fry are ~1/2" long now so should I let them out into the tank?

At 1/2" I'd be utterly amazes if even an adult female Endler could eat them, much less cories or otos. I'd say if they're 1/2", it's perfectly fine. If they're a bit smaller and really look like they could be lunch, try letting them out and standing with a net waiting in case someone gives serious chase - fry are usually pretty easy to catch.

Back in the game after 4 years out ..

They're probably ready, I guess I'm not It's nice being able to see them in the net and keep an eye on them. There are sooo many Endler's in the tank and it's very well planted, I'm afraid I'd never see them But they're doing really well on crushed flake and I have to clean the net daily so I suppose it's time
