This is the 4th time my rq has layed eggs for my red texas. He goes through the routine like hes fertilizing them but nothing so far so this time i pulled the rock after she layed about 25 percent of the eggs and and sat the rock on top of my tank. then i grabbed my male jag and gently sqeezed him and he squirted on the eggs. now i dont know if thats pee or fish spurm. so i put the rock back in the tex and rqs tank and after 5 mins she finished laying the rest of her eggs. Im thinking the red tex is sterile thus im hoping the sqeezing of the jag my fertilize some of the eggs. im crossing my fingers. I know you can sqeeze eggs into a cup of water and then do the male with trout but im trying it in a total diff way.

sorry but i lol'd at this :).

Best of luck let us know what happens.
 
thats a new one for me. squzinbg the stuff out. i think they do that goldfish. i have tried with feeders, but all that pops out is there swim bladder. lol
that would be a good pair. can i see a better pic of the RQ?
 
that is weird i never heard squezzing your fish to do that it's new to me but good lick keep us updated on it.
 
He looks like a Green tex, but in any event, if hes a green tex, it may be her thats not fertile. It happens sometimes. Next time, just pair her up with another fish altogether. I dont think with the Jag it would be nice at all, but who knows. Goodluck.
