In my previous post, I wrote about my Blood Parrots laying eggs. This was a few days ago.
The eggs aren't viable, and are starting to grow a fuzz on them. Both parents seemed stressed because they have changed color, and have been swimming circles over the eggs since they were laid.
What do I do now? It seems from a "clean water" view to vaccume out the eggs, but will that stress the fish even more? Should I rearrange the tank a bit so they aren't looking for the eggs? Or should I just leave it all alone let nature do whatever it wants to do?
