firstly well done. What size tank have you got and what other fish ?
When I breed sterbais, I find if removed there is a greater chance of fry survival...cheers jk :thumbup:

good news. i find with some cories that they will eat the eggs themselves. so I remove when i see any and put in a fry saver, dont need to tumble just a fry saver with some flowing water either from filter outlet or airstone. often i can roll them off the glass and roll them onto a stone and place in the saver. plus advantage is being able to feed then better when in the fry saver.

you could try some spawning mops for future spawns I make my own from knitting yarn. I then just remove the mop to a large suspended fine fish net positiond in front my power filter. move then to their own tub when they hatch and change water every day with fresh water from the main tank.looks bad but works a treat!:)
