Help Needed.

So the last month or so my green terror and blue acara have been acting strange. I'm pretty new to fish keeping so I wasn't too sure what was going on. It looked like they were just playing, not really hurting each other, so I let them be. Well a few days ago my acara didn't come out at feeding time. After searching and searching, I've found my acara hiding in a log watching over her eggs! (little bit of info: I had no idea the sex of these fish untill now! Also had no idea these fish could breed with each other.)

Fast forward to today! I have a bunch of tiny acara/terror fry in my tank, roughly 1-2 days old. I have 2 angels, 4 cory cats, and a (I think) bolivian ram in with the terror and acara. I was thinking about taking out everybody not involved with the fry. Should I take the green terror out as well? Am I going to need to try to feed the fry? Or will the acara feed them? Any other help or info will be appreciated.

Yes this does happen alot, i would be inclined to leave tank as is,let them get eaten, but i just dont like hybrids...feeding get either brine shrimp or look on ebay for "deshelled brineshrimp eggs" i love this stuff for fry only a couple of quid

I should've specified, I would like to keep the little guys. I plan on keeping a couple and giving the rest away to friends. I think I'm going to call them turquoise terrors

So, planning to keep the fry. Should I stick with my plan and take everybody out? Take the green terror out as well? Would the cory cats and pleco go after the fry?

Sorry for all the questions, I've never dealt with fish breeding before. It's a whole new territory for me.

yes your best bet is to take everyone out, how long have they been free swimming,make sure filter wont suck them up

Right now they aren't really free swimming I guess. They're hiding out in a log in one spot, like they're stuck there. Can't really see in there all too great.

So far I've taken the angels, ram and cory cats out. Should the green terror come out as well or will he help out?
