(i.e 90% survive, 10! survive) - just approximate numbers as I know there are a lot of factors which will determine this.

Some will alwats eat fry, other will never touch them. Also the foods help, well feed fish will eat fewer fry then fish that are hungry. So going from personal experance with rearing them alongside the parents i find about 20-25% survive most of the time.
