fh spawning, need help

[fisheatfish]

I remove the eggs into a 10 gallon tank to hatch once I've determined the eggs have been fertilized...eggs will appear dark if they are fertilized. Hopefully the eggs are on a plate or slate for easy removal. Eggs would be all over the tank if you wait for them to become wigglers. I remove the eggs to ensure they do not get eaten, which has happened many times. The 10 gallon is a simple setup with a spongefilter & heater. If your tank has gravel, removing fry later will be a pain because they'll hide in them.

I posted these pics on another thread but it gives you an idea of the eggs & free swimmers & few white eggs that weren't fertilized. Good luck to you.

the female laid the eggs all over the tank's bottom and side instead of laying on a clay plate i put for her.
so now i have to keep watching out for the wrigglers

the eggs are covered by a fungus like thing all over them
are the eggs ok?

 

[sharizan]

Not ok..if all already covered with fungus, none will hatch..probably your male didnt fertilize the eggs

damn!
i'll have to wait for the next spawning then.
after how many months do you think the female will lay eggs again?

I usually breed it again after 3 month, but never knew if can breed earlier than that,..i never tried,..and one thing is, i dont use divider method,..

well it was my first time breeding fh.
next time for sure i will have fh fries all over the place

 

[sharizan]

Yup, u sure will..Luckily for me, 1st attempt succeed

 

[d3ssen27]

well i think that the eggs won't hatch at all because the female is not interested in them
is it possible that the female will lay eggs again before 3 months??

 

[sharizan]

i've tried it, with the same female..but using different male...
