Aquarium Advice Addict
My C. trilineatus lay eggs every other day now with no end in site. I just hate leaving the eggs in the main tank for them to eat but I don't have room to raise 1000's of fry.
I also have one die here and one die there which is heart breaking because I took the time to seperate the eggs and hatch them and try to raise them. I know it is natural to lose weak ones and to have some die but I have a question that might help others who want to breed fish get a better idea of how many to babies they need to have them survivie to adult.
If you raise egg layers, what percentage of the eggs do you think survive to adulthood? Live bearers jump in here too because there are just as many of you.
This will give people a better idea of how many tanks they need to meet the goals they are trying accomplish with breeding their precious fish.
