Congrats!! Let the parents take care of em, wait for 24-48hrs to see if the eggs are fertile...if not, it'll turn white. Then give it a couple of days in which you'll see a dark patch..chances are the parents are huddling them up. At which, you'll need to reduce your filtration or change it to sponge filters. This way, the wigglers, at this stage, won't get sucked in. Feed the parents and they'll crunch it up into food particlaes and the wigglers will have at it. In addition, food and bacteria accumulates on the sponge..it'll be food for the fries by then..Goodluck and congrats..Also, First bites by Hikari is worth the investment!!! Fries will also consume slime from parents for nourishment!!! If you change 25-35% every oether day..it'll help the growing process move even quicker in the frie stage...Hope this helps!!


Thanks a lot however, those 60 eggs died last 2 weeks ago. well luckly my flowerhorn laid eggs again today about 100+
 
hey what's up. i used to breed flowerhorns. what i did after the first couple times was that began separating the eggs from parents because most times they will eat the eggs at some point. another thing to watch out for is the mold that will spread quick if not taken care of.
