brucem Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I leave fry in with my pair of gold face. They last for ages with my pair. Usually when the pair is about to breed again the fry start to disappear quite quickly. Although one survived their last clean up, and he's about 2 cm now. I was more worried about the snacking this little guy would do to the fry so pulled the fry out this time.I usually take mine out when they get to about 1cm.What size tank are your golds in? My gold face are in a 2ft tank.Good luck with the experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
