Another 2 cents... A common problem I have seen among my pairs is that otherwise attentive, two active spawners will raise the fry to 4 or 5 days then all the fry disappear overnight. This has been very frustrating because I have some pairs among that same group that will grow the fry out attentively and then spawn in the same tank again at about three weeks. This may speak to the earlier comments about breeding line behaviors. Regardless, the trial and error portion of my spawnings to find a pair that doesn't eat the fry has cost many a cloud of fry.
