bulldogod Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 So my sevs have laid heaps of eggs today, What do I do now? Just leave them or move them to another tank? Does the male fertilise eggs straight away after female lays????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 If it is truly a male then yes. Good luck on raising the eggs. I didn't have too good a luck at severums. think other fishes ate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogod Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 yeah true, didnt think that it mite not be a male, took the rock out anyway and put in another tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogod Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 HELP, Ok, so whole rock is wriggling now and Got no idea what to feed them? Do you feed them yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 naah you wait for the babies to hatch completely. then after 2 days or so the egg sac will disappear, and then you can feed them. i usually feed babies egg yolk for the first couple of days or liquifry or something that easy, and then move onto brine shrimp or daphnia. just make sure you clean the tank if you use egg yolk - it can be messy (boil an egg and use a tiny amount of the yolk).
