Hey guys, one of my sterbai is egg laden! Noticed a behaviour change (and shape change in the right places) and my research confirmed that she is likely to be egg laden. The water is fine (ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5-10 and GH and KH both around 8). She is eating normally and does not look unhealthy in any way. Just slightly rounder and not as hyper as the others (but this behaviour change happened overnight).
Sooo i need to up my cory numbers anyway, and it would be cool if i could do it myself. I DONT have a quarantine tank (nor will i get one at this stage. I can only have one tank).
Is it worth getting a breeding net? The cherry barbs would eat eggs and fry.
What do fertilised eggs look like? I believe i read unfertilised are a browny colour.
Say i somehow succeed... I feed baby brine shrimp right? And what size to go in the tank? When they cant fit in any mouths?
