GBR

[1better]

Well the bad news first: my male GBR died. Didnt find it until just now, was lodged underneath my piece of driftwood.
It had been dead a while since its colors are all pale now.

I then find the female sitting in the corner tucked away. Thought that she
was sulking a bit, but on further inspection i found this.

So i have no clue what to do about this! I dont even know if these are fertilized
or not as i dont know exactly when the eggs were laid and when the male had died.

Should I just leave them there or move them somewhere else? This is in a 30
so i could potentially move them into a 10, but it wont be worth the hassle if
theyre not even fertile. Any ideas? comments?

I would leave them for now. You will know whether or not they were fertilized in a few days. They will turn brown if they were not

I stand corrected... They will not turn brown, they will just begin to look milky if they are unfertilized instead of the clear look that they have in the picture.

Yeah they have all been turning milky in color, so I am pretty sure they're not fertlized. Aw well it was a pleasant suprise tho. Thank you for the replies!
