Hey everyone,

I havent posted here before but fervent reader, now i just bumped into something slightly exciting going on in my tank.

quick picture from my mobile, i'll look to update it later with actual camera pictures.. so yeah looks like something went on in there ;-) Any advice or hints? should i try to separate the eggs?

If you want to raise a few eggs, go for it. Just don't try to raise too many. 10-20 is a good number to start with, not 100!

Otherwise, leave them in the tank and the parents will eat them.

Congrats!

hello, thanks for your response

ive decided i want to keep a few newborns as i've got a spare tank available at the moment. now i'm just curious, what would be the best way to separate the parents from te eggs. remove some of the plants? also, do the eggs require any feeding/particular things in their tank or can i just watch them mature?

You can remove the plants, but eggs peel off from plants pretty easily. Remove them by sliding the leaves between two fingers, and the eggs pop right off.

Place them in a container with some shallow fresh water, and wait until they hatch!
