To prevent the babies from being eaten you need to separate them from the bigger fish. You can put them in a baby fish separator that you can get at your local aquarium store, or you can put them in a small fish bowl until they are bigger with less chance to be eaten.

∙ 14y agoIf you want to keep the babies: 1. Separate 4m mother and other fish or they'll eat the babies/fry!!
2. You can put the fry in the net and leave it hanging on the side of the tank so the fish are still in the tank but the other fish can't get to them OR you can buy a breeder box for the fry OR even a small tank w/ filteration
3. Feed the fry with the same food but crush it FINELY so they dont choke on it... or you can just buy fry food @ local petsmart
4. When the fry are big enough to not be able to fit into other fishes' mouths, you can let them out!
If you don't want to keep the babies:
Let them hang around, most will be eaten by the other fish! :(
OR
Ask if your local petsmart will take them for you...
Hope this helped! :)

∙ 13y agoDifferent people will have different desires are regards to fish having babies. Some people simply let the young get eaten in the aquarium, while others choose to carefully separate and raise baby fish, and then sell or trade them when they reach a large enough size.
As for procedures to raise young fish, that is entirely depenant upon what type of fish you are reffering too, and is far too broad a question to answer here.
