I know those in white are infertile

Any hope for the rest?

Also any idea how to remove fertilised eggs safely if any

Tankmates are arowana, Florida gar, endi bichir fire eel and a pleco

Driftwood is about 2+ft long so hard to remove without the eggs being exposed to atomsphere

Thanks.. all have been eaten already...


Will try again with wavemaker off this time


Do you have a seeded filter ready so when you remove the driftwood with the eggs on it next time to a hatchery aquarium. I personally use a few drops of Methylen Blue to prevent fungus from developing and spreading to the fertile eggs.
 
Got the same thing going,

Ideally it’s (log with eggs) removed submerged into other tank... need something that fits inside tank and hoods water, something smaller than a 5g bucket...

Think this is #4 - #2 was super strong, parents ate wigglers as the came out ?

Yes I have many seeded filter but i can't remove the driftwood. I have a spare 45cm tank while my drift wood is 70-80cm long and 60cm tall

methylene blue is safe for fertile eggs?

Yes I personally use it if I remove eggs from the main aquarium. I don't recommend it in the main aquarium it will stain the silicone, and Ornaments.
 
I don’t add anything to eggs. If you remove them from the parents, put an air stone about 1” away from them to create current flowing over the eggs which simulates the fanning/aeration from the parents. Use clean water. Fertile eggs usually will not fungus if the water is clean and the eggs are kept aerated.
