superbad0417 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 hey all my convicts have spawned in my community tank in a terracotta pot and the eggs are stuck to the upper sides of the pot. My question is can the eggs be removed from the pot and into a fry net or something before they become dinner for my other fish or do i have to wait until they are free swimming to relocate them ?

Ducksta Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Better off moving the whole pot. However, convicts tend to be good parents, so it will probably be more successful to leave them in the tank, and siphon the 'wrigglers' when the mum starts moving them around a bit.

cpfc Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think the other fish are more likely to become dinner for the parent convicts. I have seen them protecting young before and no one gets near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
