Dixon1990 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I was just doing my weekly waterchange when i found about 7-8 orange eggs about 2-3mm. Could these be BN eggs? The other fish in my tank are danios, rasboras, neons, kuhli and dwarf loaches and some small whiptails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 My best educated guess is bristlenose eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yep, 2-3mm and orange.... BN eggs fo sho! Stick them into a breeding trap or something with a gentle air stone and they will hatch within 7 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 They are in the Net breeder atm.Would that do for a while? And what do i feed them when they hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yep net breeders perfect, but id chuck an air stone in there if possible, or just aim the filter outlet at the net maybe? whatever way, give them some water movement. Not too hard though... They hatch within 7 days, then 7 days later they would have fully consumed their egg sacks so then you start feeding them. Feed the cucumber/zuchini, and spirulina disks etc. i give mine tetra colour bits aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
