What would be my best solution for survival as the tank mates its with are far from peacefull if they were to be left alone.

they arent easy to raise anyway so unless you want to put in the hard yards i wouldnt worry too much...
they'll spawn many more times in the future.... sometimes they get into a routine of laying every 7-10 days....

Advice on how to raise them varies but generally includes having them live on a layer of food, as they won't move 2mm to get to food.

It sounds to me like they are hard work.
I couldnt stop laughing when I read this.
Good luck with them all the same.

i have a log in a bucket out in the sun that has dechlorinated water in it that will hopefully get some algae happening on it and i will stick the little log in the saver....have heard also people feed them amazon sword leaves and they survive....

they arent rare as hell as occasionally a smart ass like myself breeds them and keeps them alive in good numbers.....
i have plenty of fry if ya decide to give up trying to raise your own.... you can buy mine....

yeah but i bet they were 3 nice looking fish..... lol... the more survivors you get the more you get the odd deformity or melted fin disease (my name for it) when their fins look melted and munted...
sometimes you get 50 good ones in a spawn... but they can still drop off at anytime from 1cm-7cm without too much of a reason....
bigger than 8cm and they are almost bullet proof
