RCS and eggs...

[AlexW]

I have a single female RCS in my 29 gallon asian themed tank, and from what I can see on the internet, they all have yellow eggs. My female only ever has green eggs, why is this? I have 4 adult males in with her. The ph is 6.8, amm=0, n/ite=0 and n/ate=10. The water is fairly soft but I have been adding a little bit of cuttlebone when I can, haven't for about a month now though.

Is this common or what, because I can't find a picture of an RCS with green eggs. If someone has a link to one that would be appreciated.

It's normal don't worry. Although not as common, they do have green eggs sometimes as well.

Ok, good. I got 40 of them from an AB seller and my black paradisefish ate most of the population before I put him in solitary. Even then, none of them had yellow eggs, always green. Is it something to do with genetics?

Its possible, I'm not sure why some have green eggs and some have yellow.
