well look in the tank this morning and there maybe 5 eggs on the rock and the ones that where in the sand are gone?? don't know what happened, was looking around the tank and the rocks and didn't see any. Which sucks, but im not going to do anything. Im going to wait until I see the the wiggelers and fry until I do anything.

Man that sucks!!!! Please keep us updated and let us know what happened... Good luck, hopefully she just hide them some where else and you can't see them...
 
Next time mate put a divider to separate the parents from the eggs and when they will be free swimming vacuum them to put them in another tank with water from the parents tank.
I would be good when you move the babies and the divider to let some of the babies with the parents to keep them happy.
Next time you ll have more babies for sure and if the water is good in your tank you dont need to use methyline blue.
If i am not mistaken bass hate it..
 
ok, well with that said, I walked out side just to go turn the lights out, usually I don't, just so they get used to me, dogs, just everything. But I tried to see if I could see eggs, and out of the corner of my eye I see these little things, almost jumping, and I look closer and its fry!!!! well wigglers, but soon to be fry. Its hard to get a pic cause parents move there tail and make them fly everywhere, but ill try. I was thinking on siphoning them out into my 10gallon until they become free swimming. From what I could see I see at least 100.
