Yes i have a breeding pair of salvini
That keep eating there eggs..
This time they laid them all on a flat rock.. I have taken the rock from them. and put in a 20gal long. With 30 gal fliter rapped with 2 layers of pantyhose
Then i laid there rock on top of a 8inch aerator an bubbles are coming up all around the rock.. Forgot to say the 20 water all came from the parents tank..
Is there anything else i can do?
 
I have always heard to use an antifungal solution called methylene blue in the water, if the parents are not present. If you can't get it locally the eggs will probably either develop fungus or hatch before you can get it. Are the eggs white or tan?

Thats awesome John, salvini are some of my favorite fish. I had two breeding pairs a few years ago. I gave one pair away and the male killed the female in the second pair. I really wish I still had those fish. I have two growing out now, but I think both are female. I would love to see some pics of yours if you get a chance to post some.
 
Ok also had jewel cichlids
Eggs i put in with them
The jewels hatched first.. 2 days ago
The salvinis hatched yesterday. ...
I shouldn't have any problems with
Them being wigglers and then fry being together right??? I wouldn't think so at least
