I have a pair ,btxbss female, that have been laying eggs on the glass and end up eating the eggs.
about 2-1/2 wks ago I was feeding them and I noticed eggs on the sponge filter lift tube. this is a dyi
ell shaped hydro 5. It was laying over at a 45 degree angle so there was no way I could make a guard for them.
Two days later I noticed a movement from the eggs and was very happy. they finally prove out to be a pair.
Next day they were gone, another meal.
The next day I woke up with a fever, ect and didn't go down to the fish room for 2 wks. Yesterday I went down there to check, feed, ect. and lo and behold there was about 40 or 50 babies on both parents. She must have move them to a spot were I couldn't see them.
Anyway, these boys are pretty big and I was thinking of moving the parents because I think there too big to be still on the parents
and the female in particular is starting to look a little ragged. Also, I don't have any bs eggs so I don't know what will happen if I
do seperate them.
Questions-1- these guys are some where in the 2 wk old time frame, are they too young to be separated?
2- If i should separate them how do I do that without taking some babies with them.
3- since I don't have bs can I start them on very fine fdbw or flake?
Thank you
