I have free swimming EBR fry in a 20 gallon long tank with parents. The parents have what I believe may be fin rot/ ich. I have been treating the adults with melafix and ich x. Would it be better to pull the fry or the parents? I have a 10 gallon running. The parents have done such a wonderful job so far! This is their first spawn and they are very protective. When is it a good time to seperate the fry from the parents? Also is there something else I should be doing to treat the parents? This has been going on for a week and 1/2 . I do daily water changes to keep up with meds. 
 

thank you for all your help!!

Well, congratulations on your fry! That’s exciting! Can you upload some photos of the sickness the parents seem to have? Fin rot and Ich are quite different.

How long have the EBR fry been free-swimming now?

Thank you!!! I’m very excited!!!  The fry started free swimming today. The parents Keep scooping them up and moving them back to the Java moss in the tank. I thought mabye the parents could have had ich and finrot??? It seems like the white spots disappear but return and the female Seems to have more issues with her fins rather than the male.
