My Red Devils have babies

[Hi Joey]

I had no idea they were pregnant and the fry just appeared today. Here's two pictures of them

they seem to only swim around a hole in one of the rocks and if any of them wander off the area, the red devils suck them inside their mouths and bring them back to the hole.

what am i suppose to do with them?

 

[Hi Joey]

oops didn't see the pinned threads..nevermind

feel lucky , i heard its hard getting a breeding pair of those, if you want to test out their parental skills just stick your hand in there and see how many babies you can scoop out , but im kidding lol, it would be more like, see how many babies you can scoop out before you lose some skin lol

oh another thing, i wouldn't stay too long at any point and watch cause if they feel threatened they might suck them up and never spit them out if you catch my drift, but i may be wrong

if you dont have the tank for them, start asking around different fish stores and see if their interested in buying some or trading for credit

I would remove the male he will become to agressive, there isnt really anything you need to do Red Devils are very good perants and will die for there fry. The reason why they are putting them in there mouth is because they are cleaning them but dont worry they are very gentle.

PS: what you have just done is like trying to get blood from a stone, congrats on this breeding pair.

PPS: is it just me or does the 1st pic look like a pure red devil.

[Hi Joey]

thanks for the replies. the male doesn't seem too aggressive right now. they're great parents and they really protect the fry. i'll monitor them carefully. oh yeah, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
