I checked on my feeder tank this morning and saw the big fat girl had a nice little litter of about 7 or 8. Immediately I took out the male and the other feeders so shes by herself with her baby pinks now. I have been keeping an eye on them and I want to make sure they all stay healthy.

Is there anything I can do to help the mother while she's nursing?
Is there anything I need to do to help the pinks so they can grow up healthy?


The mom was carrying one of them in her mouth earlier but it didnt look like she was eating it. To my understanding mothers eat their young if they are stressed. I want to do everything I can to make sure mum's not stressed so these babies can grow big and strong.
