Talking I Have Babies!

Ok so i went in to feed my juvie fish (baby fronts, baby lithobates and baby jewels) i noticed that 2 of my jewels were bright red and very aggressive to all the other fish. the biggest jewel is maybe 2". i look down and there are hundreds of lil buggas swimming around their cave. Since this is my first spawn i need some info on what to do. thanks.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon
(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

ok so my red jewels are being great parents, nothing comes close to their cave. I do have another question....Will the other fish pick off the fry at night? Will some just die over time? and I was wondering if someone could give me an estimate on usual number of fry that survive? thanks and sry for all the questions
