Help! Beginner. First apistogramma pair. BABIES.

Hi!

This is only our second tank. First one was a 2.6g betta tank :)

We have cardinal tetras, false juli corys, a hillstream loach and a few otos.

And a pair of Macmasteri Super red shoulder. They've been in the tank for less than two weeks. Mostly hiding under driftwood.

I noticed a much more aggressive behavior toward the tetras all of a sudden.

Come closer, I see this white debris at the bottom... look closer - BABIES. Guarded by mother.

At least 30, maybe many more.

What do I do? Can they survive?

The tank is very heavily planted. With many many hiding spots, driftwood etc.

Thank you!
