Taking out females sounds like the most reasonable option. I have not seen the mother to hunt the fry yet, but I can try leaving the parents in there in one of the other tanks and now just go for the safe way with what looks to be very lively fry from the strongest male and female I have. The clutch in there is worth saving and I should leave the male in there. Than I will probably put together another trio but use a bigger tank, it seems like the parsued female is kind of slim and still stressed out. I dont know how big tanks Bernd uses for such a set-up, but 12 liters may be to small. I hoped that making the tanks 35 cm long will help a bit, if like double the size is needed, it will not help.
