raising fry

[Simon Mann <mann@alf.chem.su.oz.au>]

Hi all.  I have a couple of general questions on raising fry.  Currently 
I have 4 species laying eggs on a regular basis.  Three of these pairs 
are in community tanks and one (N. anomala) are in a 20g on their own, 
well the female is I had to remove the male who was being beaten 
(women?).  So not having much experience with raising fry I am looking 
for some tips from you pro's out there.  Is it better to leave the fry 
with the parents in the community tanks or move them to a separate 
container after they are free swimming?  If so how long before they 
should be removed? 

I tried this with about 100 L. dorsiger fry by moving them to a 15L tub 
about 1/3 full with some java moss and an airline maintaining a slow 
stream of air.  Unfortunatley I have lost most of them after about a week 
and wonder if there is a better way to do it?

So if you can give me any tips I'd appreciate it, either posted to this 
list or to me privately.

TIA
