Hatching eggs

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ok. Just saw another pair that I have with their breeding tubes down. If the do lay eggs within the next couple of days can I put those eggs in the same tank that the other eggs are in?

You probably could but you would have to seperate the fry as they grow.
 
Ok. Is it because even though the older fry will only be a few days older,they still may be able to eat the younger fry?
 
Also about 1/4 of the eggs have got fungus on them. I tried picking some of them off. I found some Methylene Blue,which I put in the tank. Hope it’s not too late to save the rest of the eggs?

I hope not also.
 
Other pair laid eggs this morning. I put the new eggs in the tank with the other eggs this morning. I also put a little more methylene blue in the tank with all the eggs too. Came home from work and notice original eggs hatched.looks like only about 20 fry on the bottom of the tank. Wondering if the methylene blue will harm the fry? I’ll change about a 1/4 of the tank water
tomorrow. Any other advice would be appreciated?
