my oscars have eggs again,the last batch they had 3weeks ago

and they made it to the fry stage but then when you think

they are safe the parents ate them all.

im just watching my male firtalise them,my prob is i want to

take the slate and eggs out of the tank and put them in

there own tank with meth blue,but my smaller tank hav'nt

been cycled

is there any really really fast way to do this or

does anyone know another way.

cheer for all ya help :oops: :oops:

take as much water from your oscar tank as you can and fill up your grow out tank with it then you will be ok

thanks cichlid7 i'll get onto it in the morn

good luck

thankz bud im gonna do it soon just off down to buy another air pump,

how upset will my oscars be WILL THEY HATE ME FOREVER,spose they cant coz i feed them and clean the tank and stuff.

when's the best time to take them out eg.30 hours affter being layed?

cheers.

I would wait untill they become free swimming.The reason they ate them last time (in my opinion) is because they wanted to lay more eggs and saw the fry as a threat.

oh i didnt know that so you think i should just let them be?

How long after eating the fry to laying eggs?

ahh around 3-4 weeks, they get to fry stage then get eaten.

but the strange thing is they lay the eggs

at the worst time well i think because its at the end of the week when the

tank is in need of a water change,but every time they

have layed them is at that time?

i just had a look at them and all the eggs look firtle brown/tan colour

well its not hard to see them they live next to my computer.

I thought you said they laid 3 weeks ago and they got to the fry stage, so how long from eggs being laid to fry being eaten? How many tank mates and how big is the tank?

yah they layed eggs 3 weeks ago and 3-4 days later they ate the fry.

and they have layed again on thursday.
