help meee

[asumel]

my angles have had eggs, there stuck to my filter but they've started to eat them
help what do i do.

 

[kamel_007]

cover the EGGS with anythng can help... like metals...

 

[Mr Miagi]

Not metals! Food safe plastic mesh is better!

But it also needs to allow for water to flow past the eggs. You cant block flow to the eggs, or they will suffocate.

it could be that the eggs aren't fertlized properly and they're eating them out of instinct, or they could just be complete newbs. I know that they rarely are successful their first few times around so I personally would just leave them alone. When they do finally get it right they are awesome parents.

If you must, you can pick up whatever the eggs are on and gently place them in a cup under water then move them via the cup to an awaiting nursery tank.

And never put metal in a tank. Sheesh,what on Earth?!

Take the remaining eggs out, put them in another tank! Then get an airstone an put it in the tank aswell, this will give air to the eggs! You can also put some Methylene Blue in the tank to stop fungus building up on the eggs!

 

[Mr Miagi]

I dont know about meds. Personally i wouldnt. If you have enough water movemnet around the eggs, and they are still alive, they will not grow fungus, normally.

 

[Bloo]

I believe that it's actually a very common thing to do - to use Methylene Blue to stop fungus from growing on the eggs. Many Angel breeding websites mention this. However, I'm not an angel breeder so cannot say for sure. Good luck anyway !

 

[Mr Miagi]

Oh, ok, wel maybe wait till a few more people come through and comment! Miagi.
