While cleaning my tank yesterday I found my little green terror ferociously guarding a couple of hundred eggs in a terracotta pot. Today I moved him or her along with the eggs into the sump away from the midevil, texas, jd and pleco.

Firstly, should I have left him or her and the eggs where they were?

And secondly, are the eggs even fertilized? How do you know?

The green terror in the photo is a female. The eggs oftentimes will turn white very soon if not fertilized and the eggs probably should be removed soon so they do not pollute the tank. If the eggs are fertilized, the eggs will appear clear with a little dot or spot inside each egg. Do you have other pictures of all your green terrors in the tank? I hope this helps!

Some other important factors are aquarium size, tank inhabitants, and types of fish. How big is your tank? How big are the other fish? Typically, leaving the eggs where there they originated is best simply because the mother selected that as the best potential location available the help the fry succeed. The tank inhabitants sound like they likely are going to be trouble if you indeed have a breeding pair of green terrors. Green terrors will become quite aggressive when in breeding mode, and if they are full grown adults, they can be quite destructive. If you have some super sized aquarium you might be okay but if you have anything less than a super sized aquarium, there is going to likely be some injured or dead fish in your aquarium. But like I say it depends on the age and size of your inhabitants, as well as the size of the aquarium. I hope this helps.

My tank is only 150g. Definitely not what I'd call super size. The green terrors are probably the smallest at about 10cms and the midevil being the biggest at around 16cms.

I just want to add that I had not intention of breeding in this tank.
