livingart Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 senegals spawned in the big tank, well i think it was them the senegals were cosy for the last 2 days and twining around each other and the grey female is thinner came in this morning and noticed the geo brasiliensis picking through the java moss wondered what they were doing so had a closer look about 30 white eggs about 2 t0 3mm amongst the moss, went looking for a bucket etc by the time i got back they had cleaned the lot up next step is search and destroy mission on the geos and better luck next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 mark perhaps separating them from the others so incase they lay eggs, its not eggs benedict for breakfast for everyone else lol but awesome stuff, hope it was the senegals, that would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 If you do seperate, Move the other fish and leave the Senegals, cos it could be the water in the current tank that they like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 mark perhaps separating them from the others so incase they lay eggs, its not eggs benedict for breakfast for everyone else lol You'll need to move the senegals too (or just remove the eggs) as the parents will eat the eggs and the fry too.

livingart Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 i am not moving those aros again until i get a bigger tank. so it will have to be observation and pulling out the eggs i now know the behaviour that precedes the egg laying so will just have to pay attention the geo brsiliensis were the main culprits so might try catching them working on a miniature speargun to shoot them with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
