OMG my bass laid eggs!!!!!

[arowfan]

So this morning I looked and the eggs are pretty much wiped out! Fungus got to them. The MarOxy kept the fungus away for about an extra day and a half versus not putting it in like with the first spawn...I'm sure that within a couple of days they will be at it again...but this time I think I'm gonna remove the rocks on which she lays the eggs, and put them in a separate tank to be more easily treated. I'm thinking of just using an airstone and heater, with their tank water, and some Maroxy...what do you guys think?

Here's some pics of them this morning-I'll get better ones, was in a hurry to get to work!

Can i ask what size tank their in? It looks smaller then what should be for a bass, which may be whats causing the agression.

Aww didnt go back and read, was busy earlier lol. 150 is small though for them.

freshwaterfishing-also notice next to the tank it says "temporary"

and someone correct me if Im wrong, but didn't tounge33 breed them in a 125?
(tounge my appologies if Im wrong!)

 

[Tongue33]

Yes I did

So tongue since your a peacock breeding genus sorta speak(from what I hear) Will a feamle peacock bass lay eggs even if theres NOT a male present to fertilize them? What if this guy has 2 feamles an no male could that be the reason the eggs are getting the fungus since they havnt been fertilized my the male?

nighthawk2207, that could be the case, never thought of that. also to the op if you remove the rocks to another tank i would replace them with new rocks.
