What will happen is your fry, when it is born, will swim up to the surface for that first bit of air and then they will swim somewhere that they feel safe. They will swim through to the bottom part of the breeding net and they will come up for air if they need it. It is a good idea also to remove the mother from the breeding net as soon as you are sure that she has finished giving birth. This is to ensure the mother doesn't eat the babies.
