GBR Eggs

[DrewQ522]

I know it's not the best pic, will try to get a better one tonight or tomorrow but I believe those clear specs are eggs because the female is hovering over that spot constantly. I'm setting up a 10g tonight because I was gonna breed shrimp but I can out the eggs in there if needed. So, what do I do to take care of these suckers? Lol

How did you get on here? I have to be honest and can't make much out.

What do you mean? And yeah false alarm, there are no eggs unfortunately.

Ok so today I looked and she definitely laid more eggs. The female just hover in that spot and I can see little eggs or fry. The naja grass is so thick I can't get a clear picture though. She also chases any fish that wanders by off as well. So basically, what do I do to care for these babies?

I'm out there. All mine are pretty much unplanned.

You can see them right on the wood.

Are they the white specs? I have them all over two of my tanks with GBR breeding pairs in them but, the when they laid eggs, the eggs look completely different.

not so sure if those are gbr eggs. When gbr lay eggs they dont tend to scatter them around like that. Instead they are typically focused to one particular spawning spot.

Those white specs look like nerite snail eggs

If you look on the driftwood they're the clear specs if you look closely. Those nerite snail eggs have been there for quite some time so I know those aren't from the GBR

They still seem a bit too scattered about for GBR eggs. I am curious as to what they might be so keep us updated!

Well she ate them I would think because they disappeared a day or two afterwards. And I believe she just laid eggs again because they're back. And the male will not stop guarding and neither will she. This is the third time she's laid eggs lol

Well if they are truly spawning there is not much thats going to stop them from trying!

Which is awesome lol. I sell my naja grass back to my LFS about every 3-5 weeks. And every time it gets thick it seems she lays her eggs. I wish some fry would survive it would be awesome
