I'm happy to report that a now have a female demasoni holding.

For my yellow labs, I put holding females in a maturnity tank, with piles of slate for the released fry to swim into and hide within - this has worked well.

What I need to know is whether demasonii fry and lab fry are close to the same size when released - Can I put the demasoni in the same maturnity tank that currently has a few holding labs?

1 210g Asian Community planted fast water tank: balas, tiger & black ruby barbs, red-tail black shark, rainbows, loaches, SAEs, gold CAEs, 1500GPH river flow, plus 1500gph filtration.
1 75g African planted tank: 3 synos (had them since the 90s), yellow labs, kribensis.
1 40g breeder, silicone-divided into two - quarantine and nursery.

I would think that would be fine. As long as you remove the adults as they finish spitting as they might feel each others brood are lunch.

At one point I had about 60 Demansoni fry and 40 lab fry in a 30 gallon mixed with some pseudotropheus fry. I never had any issues with mixing fry in a tank. As a matter of fact I tonight I threw in some Pseudo. fry that I found when cleaning my tank , into my 20 gallon that is holding some red zebra fry that are a month or 2 old. They just hid immediately and came out a few minutes ago to eat when I fed.
