NEED HELP/ADVISE ASAP. JUST FOUND EGGS
- Thread starter the big kahuna
- Start date
Great! When they hatch they'll move them to a depression in the gravel somewhere. You wont see them for few days till free swim.You should be prepared to feed them. When there ready for free swim you will see a big tight swarm at this time you could suck them out. If you already moved the other fish then you could let the parents raise the fry. I like letting the parents raise the fry but I've done both ways with success.
thanks for all the replies. had to work late just got home, so here's the update. most of the eggs are even darker upon a closer look i can see small white worm-like wigglers attached to most of the eggs and the eggs that dont have the wigglers are moving on their own. i will go get a 20 gallon tomorrow with a sponge filter fill it with my main tanks water and just wait this out.....question can i siphon the wigglers as soon as they're free from the eggs or wait til the free swimming stage?
I would wait till the free swimming stage. Maybe a day of two after. They are still growing off there egg sacs and won't start looking for food until they are free swimming. If your going to suck them out I use airline tubing.
