Help With Red Devil Breeding

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
this cave thing is not flat either.
I would have to use my hand to get hose in cave.:nilly:

I will have to remove the RD :( She will hate me....:irked:

just moved her tank to the rack from livingroom......no kids ;)

I have left the Eggs for now......don't have a male anyways.:nilly:

I wonder if eggs rotting will pollute water ? or will she eat evenually ?

How would W/C help?

Because fungus eggs will pollute the water.. eventually ..i should say could pollute the water.. they are spoiled as though there was a dead fish..
 
UPDATE:

I tried removing eggs with syphon.....NO GO !:nilly:

I can barely get my hands in cave and the eggs were glued on w/fungus.
Python was not even stong enough to suck eggs off.

Try 2 was a scrubby by hand...Again that sucked.
Ended up using a tube brush bent around in loop
Then scrapped eggs off.
Made a huge mess out of water.

Yes,I changed some water.

The whole time the Red Devil is in a bucket pissed OFF !:FIREdevil
The fish tried jumping out of bucket !!!!!!!! several times.
Had to cover :screwy: never had too before.

I got Chewed several times clean the tanks....2 bloody knuckles :cry:

Here is pics of my DEVILS =

The moma rd will eat those eggs well most of them once they get good and fuzzy and then i would do a wc and cleaning the tank.I think u need a divider and put your smaller male in with 1 of the lady's and they will spawn through the divider your 5-6" male should be sexualy mature at that size i would keep him and in another year or so he will be as big as your large lady but u may still need the divider perhaps evan more so when u get 2 x 12" devils in a tank.
 
I would just let the eggs rot, and perform daily water changes to keep the eggs from poluting the water. Easy. Much better than having scabby knuckles.

gotta agree with big train here, Once the eggs spoil, she will eat them for breakfast.
