Midas vs. Algea Scrubber

Very nice

thanks

That's funny! My male dovii does the same thing. I really like the rock work in your tank BTW!

Thanks, aquascaping with those rocks is a pain in the arse sometimes but I think this time is came out really nice. Oddly enough the male rarely bites the female. The female has no problems biting him if he leaves his post.

There are always some that turn white.

What worries me is I have read that when the eggs turn white females(regardless of the species) will pick off the white eggs. I read that the white eggs could either be unfertile or have fungus and the fungus could spread to the other eggs so I thought it was important for the female to eat the white eggs? But she isn't removing the white eggs. About 60% are still yellowish so I am going to be optimistic.

Not looking good. Only 20-30% look good the rest are either white or obviously have fungus. Both parents are still defending the territory well.

I have a bad feeling I am going to wake up tomorrow to the sound of the female being chased around the tank... Again!
