Wraithie Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi all, My bristlenose has spawned again in my cichlids tank and we all know how that is likely to end up... I would like to move him and the eggs out and I'm wondering is it better to move them whilst still eggs or wait until after they have hatched ( I'm thinking before hatching?). Appreciate the help Tess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tschumy Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am not 100% sure but I think moving eggs would be easier. Are they still in the log with dad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithie Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yep, I think the 2nd female must have spawned overnight in the same log as I didn't notice there being two masses last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tschumy Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Have you got another tank to put the log, eggs and dad in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithie Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I was going to set up a large bucket with heater, filter etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tschumy Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 That might work. Best to get a few more opinions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carly Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I leave mine in the log and wait till they have tails and are moving around the I take log and all out and get them out of the log into a fry saver box without dad and wait a week or so until they grow a bit more then into a grow out tank I haven't lost any hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieorchid Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Grab an egg tumbler then you can keep them in the tank they are currently in until they hatch and are free swimming. Then you will need a second tank to grow them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
