my minnow has not layed its eegs yet and it getting very big is that bad it has been two weeks it has been getting fatter each day

Matey, I ask this seriously. Are you 12?

He is 13.

Don't worry about it, she will be fine. She may decide it is too cold at this time of year and reabsorb, or expel, the eggs. She may also stay nice and fat for months.

thanks for the help they didn't die like my last fish which where goldfish ya :dnc1: :fshi: :happy1: :happy2: :bounce:

There's no real fundamental difference between the two in this case.

Have you put lots and lots of moss in the tank? If you want any fertilised eggs to survive and fry to survive you will need a really thick mat or area of moss otherwise the adults will eat them.

You are unlikely to see the actual eggs drop, its more likely to happen when no one is watching.

i do not have any moss but have weed

that will be fine, just make it as dense (thick) as you can. Minnows are very good at swimming through any loose stuff.

i got a bigger tank today of 10l and planting more weed in it latter on

Now have you read the link I gave you the other week to read about mountain minnows?

yep
