Dr A Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Matey, I ask this seriously. Are you 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 that will be fine, just make it as dense (thick) as you can. Minnows are very good at swimming through any loose stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
