well if jewels are anything like convict cichlids (and many other cichlids as well) you definitely don't wanna move their babies... cause they protect them from the other fish. ya, some will get eaten but many will survive... to breed themselves! heehee convicts are known for taking over a tank and breeding like rabbits

if you want to remove the babies... (fry) they need to be moved to a grow out tank of their own. that's how we did it when we were breeding cichlids.
