Topic: Are theses eggs? If so what should I do?

[Gerry]

any update on how things are

[sasq40]

No sight of anything but parents are still guarding there hole

[sasq40]

well found out i had a few babies make it, they were descent size but once i took everything out of the tank to give it a good cleaning they got eaten pretty fast lucky now i know the parents did a good job of hiding these ones and its gonna be a while before i do a heavy cleaning, whas the spawning period like should i be expecting more anytime soon?

Sorry to hear you lost all. 

[Gerry]

Give them 2 or 3 weeks and they should be ready to go again.

[sasq40]

That's good to hear at least.  Sucked it couldn't get to them fast enough but they were descent size so parents did a good job guarding well they had cover

[sasq40]

thought id give all a update, noticed last week there was a new batch of eggs, about half the size of the first batch but still there. Was looking today and i can see little fry in the corner, the parents are doing a great job protecting them and no one seems to be bugging them!

Well second didn't it make it to free swimming. But the third has! I'm debating on if I should move them, divide the tank or just leave it to nature

[Gerry]

If you have the tank to move them to then I would let the parents look after these for experience and then if they lose them move the breeding pair to a tank on their own and let them breed again (assuming you want fry) 

[sasq40]

Yeah that's kinda what I planned. There doing a great job defending there corner, no one is staying there to long. I even noticed them grabbing the young and moving then when they get to far

[Gerry]

good signs that they will make good parents
