If your going to do this you should get another tank to grow fry. You could get away with a ten but a 20L would be better. Fry grow fast when you feed good food multiple times a day bbs works wonders along with a quality flake. The water conditions in your fry tank need to be optimal daily small water changes of about 10-15% are good and Id recommend a bare bottomed tank. As soon as the fry can be sexed anywhere from 3/4 weeks seperate the males and females as soon as possible. This way your females can put food/energy to growth versus being pregnant which will give you bigger drops when you do breed them. I think you'll have fun and see some nice looking fish as the hybrids are usually stunning looking when you get a good combo good luck.
