I had a female move her eggs about a month ago. I hadn't noticed that she had laid eggs on the back side of a piece of driftwood. When I moved the driftwood while cleaning the tank, she got real excited and started pulling eggs off the wood. I put the wood back where it was before hopeing that she would calm down, but she kept pulling the eggs off. I figured it was too late and finished cleaning my other tanks. When I came back about an hour later she had moved all of the eggs to the bottom back corner of the tank not too far from the driftwood. The eggs stayed there for few days until they hatched. She didn't attach them to the glass they were just laying on the silicone on the bottom corner,maybe they can only be attached to a surface once.

I think that is what mine is doing i just cant see them anymore but i can see them eyeballing the area where he moved them. We will wait and see what happens. Thanks

I have had fish move wigglers multiple times a day from one spot to another. I mean hundreds of wigglers too.

It's been four days so there probably wigglers by now. They usually move them as there hatching.
