My Telmatochromis temporalis shell  has spawned i am soo excited. Today when i was looking inside the shell i saw 3 wrigglers Grin . I knew they had spawned but i thought they were going to soon. the female never leaves her shell. The male sticks to his shell and chases everyone away. What should i do with the fry when they are fry swimming.

Congrats on the spawn!

If you really want the fry to have a good chance of living siphon them out into a grow out tank, but I personally just leave them in the tank 'cause I enjoy the "survival of the fittest" method and plus you get to see what happens naturally, good and/or bad.  Smiley
