    Help Colbalt Lobster Eggs

    Help, I have a cobalt lobster and have had him for about 6 months, last night when feeding the fish last night I noticed what looks like eggs under its tail. I only have the one lobster so I'm kind of shocked that there are eggs present. Does anyone have any advise on this I would appreciate it.

    I tested a couple of hours ago and ammonia was at 0-.25 nitrites were at 1ppm and nitrates were at 80, so obviously the process is taking place. Tomorrow morning everything should be 0 as it was the other day.

    New aquarium owner

    Your saying that I need to have 0 nitrites and 0 ammonia levels but dose ammonia as soon as they drop down so if I keep dosing ammonia, the ammonia will turn in to nitrites and nitrites will turn in to nitrates so the levels will never be at 0 for a few days.

I am able to turn 4ppm of ammonia in to nitrites then nitrates in less than 24 hours I think the water is ready, I'm waiting until nitrites are at zero then doing a huge water change to bring down the nitrate level...
