Had this group of loaches 3 years never seen them produce eggs.its been like this at least a few hours. Should i scoop the fish into a breeder? It doesnt seem to want to go benath the gravel to lay the eggs. Not even sure if it can because of all the plants
I had pictures but there to big to upload so i will describe it the best i can. It looks like the fish is being split down the middle with strech marks and a huge amount of eggs comeing out but sticking to the fish
 
Her body has actually split? That is not good. If however her body is intact and the eggs are being expelled naturally then I would move her to a breeding net in her original tank. I would add some weed so she feels secure and leave her to fast for a couple of days. By the sounds of it she has conditioned well and produced all the these eggs but for some reason perhaps there are no mature males or conditions just aren't right to induce spawning.
A large water change can get them to spawn if you do have an available male and they tend to lay their eggs up near the water surface in floating weeds.
All the best with her.
