I know there are a few fishkeepers so it's worth an ask!
The koi angelfish I bought a month ago spawned last week and now I'm 99.9% sure I can make out fry, when I saw the eggs I left them in the main tank as it was the parents first time and didn't want to put them off, they are doing a very good job at keeping everyone away from their leaf, maybe a bit too good a job of it!!!
Now that it looks like they have managed to raise them to fry I'm not sure how to feed them, their leaf is right in the middle of the tank length/depth and height wise! Any ideas how to go about feeding or just leave this first lot alone to see how the parents cope with their first offspring?

I put the fry into a seperate tank. Makes it alot easier. Got about 80 cichlid fry at the moment with no homes for them to go to

next time I'm moving the eggs to another tank straight away, wanted to see how the parents did for themselves with this first lot, not sure how to get baby brine to them or get it to stay there as there's bit of flow in the tank

they'll probably be picked off and eaten if left in the main tank.
Just syphoning them off when they are eggs works best and can then bring them up away from other fish that will just eat them. Unless you dont really want many new fish (or intend to sell them) as can just leave them and allow for natural selection to take place!!

parents are doing a very good job of protecting them right now but one they are free swimming I can see them being loach food
