New set of Dovii eggs (Care Advice Wanted)

    My dovii have bred again, there are tons of eggs again this time. I only have one fry left from the first spawn and I would like to do a better job raising them this time. I have an empty 20 gallon tank that I could move the pipe with the eggs into but I am not sure how to do this or if this is recommended. I may leave them with the parents and see how that goes, the last time they had fry I had to move the tank from my old house to the new one and I think that this may have had something to do with the high mortality rate. What do you guys and gals think?

    Just an update, the eggs have hatched and I now have little wigglers, I have decided to leave the fry with the parents again and see how that goes.
