Kribs Have Laid Eggs But Im Not Sure About Them

[shelaghfishface]

i know this is the wrong section, but i need answers sooner rather than later

another member of the forum came round mine today and took some fish away and in the process i ripped a load of plants out of the krib tank and also this big piece of wood so that i could catch them easier, anyway that was a couple of hours ago and have just noticed eggs on the wood, although this is not the first batch of eggs/fry i didnt see the eggs last time so i have no idea what they are meant to look like, tho i do recall another member saying they are red, these are white, so i am really hoping they wernt on the wood when i took it out, the mummy krib is cleaning them,so i have no idea, someone let me know cos i was going to strip the tank and clean it but if they are "good" i wont be able to.. and why did she choose now now lay them after i have just ripped it all apart??

If they are white, they may not be fertilised yet. They are just eggs, not fishies yet.

 

[shelaghfishface]

the daddy is cleaning them ( i assume thats what their doing) too, so does this mean he may still fertilise them, or has he forgotten

Id leave them a few days, then have another look to see if there is any change if not prob best to remove them, you dont want mould growing in the tank. They may have only just been laid and the male has yet to fertilise them.
