eggs

...twas a wondrous spawning event to behold. Amazing what fresh water and worms can precipitate. Here's hoping that a little methylene blue will keep the fungus at bay.

Hello. This morning I noticed that there were several eggs on a fake plant in my 20 gallon tank. How long will it take for the eggs to hatch and should I do anything to ensure the safety/health of the eggs? The male ram is very defensive. There's 2 pairs of rams and 6 yellow tail tetras in the...

Should I remove them and how much water flow do they like?

I caught a Yellow Lab female that was carrying to put in an isolation tank and she spit out 2 eggs. is this normal? 2 weeks ago I did the same thing with a different female and she released 9 fry tonight.

I now have firemouth eggs

my convict eggs have what looks like tails coming out of them. is this normal? Thanks for the advice?

I have 6 adult angel fish. For the last 3 months they have been dividing the tank into three zones. Four days ago there were eggs on plant leaves in two of the zones. I collected as many eggs as I could and floated them in the front of the tank in a live bearer trap. The next day the trap...

I'm sure you guys who do all the breeding are rolling your eyes like "oh, big deal," but I am soooooo excited! This is the rainbow cichlid pair I got only about a month+ ago via Aquabid. They were not a bonded pair, but they did very well with each other and I'd moved them into the main...

I met Discus Hans a little less than a year ago. I couldn't leave without taking home six 2 1/2 discus which I raised in a planted 55 gallon tank. Tonight I come home to a pair laying eggs. My first pair of discus with eggs! I can't believe it! I already have a 29 gallon tank setup for the move...

Okay, in the past I have purchased Brine shrimp eggs online. The last time I ordered a case of 12 1lb cans. That was several years ago. They were from Brine Shrimp Direct and cost around $20.00 each for a high percentage. Like 85 or 90% Now I look and they are over $39.00 a can. Where do...

did someone eat the eggs?

How long do brine shrimp eggs last for? I got an old can of them and tried hatching them but it didn't work. I don't think I had the temperature high enough...

Here are 2 links on the subject of the effects of feeding unhatched brine eggs. http://www.angelsplus.com/ArticleArtemiaShells.htm http://www.angelsplus.com/ArticleDecomp.htm

I just picked this Silver pigeon a couple weeks ago from a local guy and today she's guarding eggs on a piece of driftwood! The father is one of my Cobalts ive raised from 3.5 inches! Pretty cool I think, espicially if the fry survives! Sorry about the camera phone pics. Its weird how hybrids...

There must be something in the water, LOL, because I noticed that the Apistogramma Macmasteri that are in my 20 high community tank laid about 20 eggs on the underside of an anubias leaf. This is their first spawning, and there are danios and killis in the tank, so we'll see whether the fry...

Woo-Hoo! I have no idea whether the other Discus is a male, but I know I have at least one female, because I caught her in the act of laying eggs a few minutes ago: So stupid newbie question: are the eggs fertile when laid, or does the male now have to fertilize them? This being their...

Are the eggs of neolamprologus brichardii an opaque white? Is it common for them to lay eggs on the roof of a clay pot? Will one of the mating pair tend the eggs, looking like its kissing or cleaning them? I ask because I have two N. brichardii in my 20 long that I picked up at Aquafest, and...

I'm getting low on the small "phials" I've been purchasing at the LFS. Anyone purchase any in bulk lately that they could split some off for me? I'll be at the meeting tomorrow.

Well, my real nice JD pair finally got down to business and laid eggs..lots of eggs...completely covering a 10" x 4" piece of slate. There must be 500-600 eggs on that thing. My 4yr old daughter is tickled pink right now and is asking me tons of question, so I thought I would seek some advice...

So... I'm cleaning the tank for my Electric blues... and I'm thinking about the convo I had with Andrew about sexing these guys - I said, the only sure way is to actually see the eggs... Okay, there is another way - see the female FAT with eggs! I caught her, and she has that fat soft belly...
