I have 2 albino bn pelcs(1m 1f) and I was wondering if/when they breed how long should I wait to move the fry? Thank you.

I have an acrylic fry saver (actually, I have 3) that is about 12" long. When I see eggs in the cave with dad, I usually move cave, dad and eggs into the fry saver. Makes it easier than chasing fry around the tank. Good luck.
Never give up until you have released your unused capacities for service and shared your gift with others. One enkindled spirit can set hundreds on fire.

You can buy smaller acrylic fry savers. I also have one that is 6" long and would work in a 10 gal. Got mine on AB. Good luck.
