Carol,
Free-swimming stage provide another challenge! All little moving targets were eaten by both parents! May be next time that I'll need to setup the brine shrimp hatchery, not now!!!

Re:Hatching timeline
Hi Carol,
Why do we have to remove the female on the 3rd day? My pair are fighting over the eggs. I use an eggcrate to sepearte the female and let the male to guard the eggs.
Do you know how why my pair will fight over the eggs?

Hi Kevin:
You don't have to seperate them. I did because the female was leaving for Texas or in other cases the female was fighting or wanted to lay eggs again.

The eggs hatch and wiggle on the breeding cone. Then they leave the cone and are free swimming in the tank. (not attached to the breeding cone anymore)
