Congrats, the parents would protect the eggs, you can take the fries out only when you can see them moving, leave the parents in the big tank.

today the fry are swimming out the caves with the Parents at the bottom of the tank,try feeding them with hikari fist bites,but fry did not notice the food,i also lower my filter flow rate as the Parents is keeping the fry away from the filter input.
