I've been going about taking care of these rasboras all wrong,
they started spawning four days ago, I took the cherry barbs out but didn't realize that you were supposed to keep the lights out so the eggs wouldn't develop fungus.
Luckily they were still spawning yesterday today they've stopped so I removed them. I may have a chance, I covered my window keeping all lights out, I'm on lockdown for a few days.

I'm hoping this will work out, keeping ten fish cramped in two 5g isn't what I had planned for but it will have to work for now.

I think the reason they spawned is the combination of the rising sun with the hormones of the spawning cherry barbs, made for a great combination.
If this time doesn't work out, I can always try again!
