if you have enough hiding spaces they have a really good change on surviving
I think they have between 5-40 at a time
You can feed them with "First Bites" or with crushed up flakes(crushed to powder)
Good luck
hope that helps

Depending on what fish you have in the tank and what kind of plants they have to hid in .... you should have a 50 50 chance at keeping some of the fry.
I don't take my fry out of the tank and feed them baby brine shrimp or crushed up flakes.
Good Luck

If you have lots of plants and hidy holes a few should survive. They usually have between 20 and 50 fry. If you want more to survive you can buy nets which hang on the side of the tank so the other fish can't eat them.

I you want them to survive you need to get them out of the tank and into a seperate one where they will be killed.

well, you need to put them in a breeding net, and feed them with very small pellet, umm they usually have like 15 at a time
