Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but my "Midevil," about 5 inches, laid eggs last night. Now I know she is a female. She's been aggressive but now she is even more aggressive towards her territory, which I know is normal. The eggs are unfertlized and she is protecting them, so how long should I wait before I remove the eggs from polluting the water? I don't want to cause her any stress. Also how often will she lay eggs in the future without a mate? I read somewhere that it's just like women who need to release too. Thanks
 
She will probably eat the eggs herself , tbh don't know how long she will keep laying eggs .
 
Yah she will just eat her eggs, my female convict at hers little by little after like 2-3 days
 
My female Midevil lays eggs all the time, it's pretty fun to see. She's been doing it for over 2 years and she does it about once a month. She gets crazy aggressive when the eggs are in the tank and always eats them after about 4 or 5 days. It's fun to see and it's a sign you have a nice healthy fish! Enjoy!
