fire red spawn

[nicos apistos]

Hi my bud gave me a fire red pair and after a week or so theey bred.
All I have to feed them is frozen daphnia, bloodworms, and brine shrimp, and flakes (crushed). I also need to know what to do now, take the male or female out in quarantine, and this is for know until I aquire live foods
Thanks-

It´s a planted tank?
What kind of substrate?
How old is the setup?

 

[nicos apistos]

heavily plante

It is heavily planted with crypts and hairgrass with some Rotalas. Also driftwood.
The substrate is black normal shape thicker, not ADA substrate or sand. Setup is 4-5 months old

So, the fries will eat from the microfauna who inhabits the substrate and plants.

Of course, you won`t have an excellent survival rate, but there´s no other problem.
