[mahemaheman85]

alright so i walk in to my fish room today and the slate i put in for my monos is covered in eggs, none are white, i have my two big monos, a big orino, a firemouth that im donating to a lfs today, and a 8 inch suncat in this tank, im already getting rid of my firemouth, and im trying to figure something out with my suncat, but im moving in ten days, and until then i cant set up any other big tanks

also i think the female is slowly eating the eggs, so time is an issue

my question is, is there anyway i can take the eggs out and keep them alive without disrupting my pair, cause i dont have anywhere for my orino or suncat as of now, and i dont want to leave the babies to chance if i have another choice

i say, let nature take its course on this 'un, then try again in your new house.

took my female a while to stop eating the eggs. I think it was the males fault though, he wasn't doing his job. They will figure it out eventually, and its much more rewarding letting them do the whole thing. Good luck dude, i am happy i didn't take out my eggs!

If it's your first one then you should have many many more to come. But you should be able to just remove the slate and put it in a separate tank. Just be prepared to get nipped.......
