I would leave them alone until they hatch but when they hatch and are free swimming take the babies out and put them in there own tank... Feed babie brine shrimp until they can eat bigger foods....

Use a spong filter when you transfer them because they will just get sucked up by your filter... Make sure its a decent size tank to I would day at least a 29 gal the bigger the better your gonna have a lot of babies, if they hatch.... Your FH look kinda young from the pictures so dont be suprised if they arent fertle the first time...


GOOOD LUCK :woot: :thumbsup: :headbang2
 
actually they have eaten two batches of eggs so far is that normal , and since I know they eat eggs should I take them out when they are clear , they are attatched to a clay pot so I should be able to get them out pretty eaisly
 
The only time they will eat there eggs is if they arent fertle...
 
i could always put up a divider?
 
now why havent you gotten in tuch with me about this subject.
First if the eggs are a baige color there ether ready to be fertlized or are fertle. if and when they start to turn papper white they are not fertle.

Now to the coment about if they fertle they wont eat them bullshibby buddy. They will eat them just to do it if they feal like it .

not bein smart just pointing that out.

Pat beins they have ate the last two batchs. after the eggs have made it for like 30 to 48 hours preferably 48 to make shore they get fertlized . I would remove the clay pot and throw it in the 20 gal you got of mine. that u have.

Match the watter temps and all that use watter from the tank in that tank to keep them stable. Mainttain a 79 to 82 temp ide go with 79 till they hatch. after 4 days of being layed they should be wiggling around in a pile . Use a sponge filter and airline for filtration. wait a week or so befor you start feeding them ide say a week. i use liquid fry number 1after three or four weeks i switched to crushed flakes. let me no whats sup
