Eggs and fertilization questions

[Cathey1000]

Hi. My female laid eggs in December. I have not separated my male and female yet. I noticed she’s getting a little fat, and my male just left his sperm in the tank. I’ve removed it because I don’t want her to have to go through that again so soon. Happens now?? What will happen to the eggs inside her??

If the eggs are not fertilized, she will reabsorb the egg cells. If you want to prevent them from being fertilized, the only 100% effective method is to put them in separate tanks.
