hey guys.
i curious about when would be the right time to remove my GT's eggs into a diff tank. Right now my eggs are at the stage where i could see tiny black
dots on the eggs which i am guessing it would be the eyes.
If i was to remove the eggs can i use a siphon to suck the eggs up and into the new tank? would that damage the egg or is it okay?
any advice would be appreciated :thm:
 
I'd leave them where they are until they hatch, then gently siphon out the wigglers before they become free-swimming. You'll need to have freshly hatched brine shrimp or microworms on hand to feed the fry after the yolk sacs are absorbed.

oo alright...i was planning on removing the eggs right now because if i leave them till 2morrow they might hatch while im at school and will be eaten by my other fishs >.<
 
the fry know that they need to hide and they will hide in the gravel!!!!


o and one more for ya: !
 
when you move the net over the gravel they will swim away!!! then you can see them!


if you want u could split the clutch in half....that way if the ones in the tank dont make it then you have the others and vice versa!
