HELP CONVICT!!!!

[Adam-011]

I am new to breeding Convicts i have 1Female con 1 Male 1FM 1 salvini
this morning i noticed eggs the female con was garding there arenot to many but they are on a brown rock so i cant tell the color.
And this morning the FM tryed to eat the eggs but the Con attacked him
I was wondering how to tell if they are fetel i will try to get a pic.

they will turn white if intertile

i think if they are white then they are sterile, if yellow then they are baby ridden

 

[azfishfool]

yes when white the parents should pick them off the rock or if they dont you should as they can spread fungus, watch out for the other fish breeding cons are mean SOB's

 

[mbunafishkeeper]

as the others said, white and fury=unfertile(dead eggs)
brownyyellowy=fertile(live eggs)

Some look like they have white algae on them. the otheres look Yellow-Brown.I need the Basic info on them and what to do.

 

[azfishfool]

the parents should handle most everything, if you have some algae in the tank the babies will also feed off of that. i have swimmers in my tank and have done nothing different. if you can tweezers will help you pick out the white eggs, it will yield a higher success rate

Best thing to do is remove the other fish, if you can, if not, get a divider. The parents will take care of them. Once they become free swimmers, put them in another tank...or let them be fish food, your choice.

I dont know who the dad is tho

 

[azfishfool]

the female will have red on her belly, the dad is most likely the other convict. what fish doesnt the mom attack?
