    The fry may take to picking on the eggs or wigglers, even if they don't the new spawn will not be able to compete with their older siblings as they grow. But anything is possible. If you really do not have the tank space to grow out your hatchlings, the fry will benefit from feasting on the eggs at least!

    If you really want to hatch out the new spawn, you can use just about anything that will hold water as a hatching vessel.

    Sure, if you want to lose them.
