tangles Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Found these royal whiptail eggs in my 5 ft planted tank today.They have only been moved to this tank for about 2 weeks and i really think they like the extra space,as they are out and about all day even with the bright metal hallides on.In the 3ft they where in they would stick close to the driftwood all day and roam around when the lights went out. What should i do with the eggs.Looks like the male is guarding them as he has little whiskers up the side of his face.I have ellioti in the tank and some congos and rummynose.Should i try to get the eggs out and tumble them. Heres a pic Cheers leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 if you dont they will be fish food. they are fairly small fry and sit on the side plains of glass for the first 3-4 days and are easy pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brengun Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Could you perhaps put a bit of eggcrate across his end until he can hatch them, then you airline suck them up into a fry saver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
