Holding Red Zebra

[stonefly]

This is the second time she has had eggs in her mouth. The first time I just let her do her thing and I am pretty sure she ended up eating them. I would like to see if they make it to be fry this time. I don't have a spare tank that i can put her in at this time, but I do have a little breeder net. Will that breeder net work, and when should i put her in it?

Thanks. Not to if worried. If she eats them, she eats them. If the eggs make it to fry, they will be cross bred. I am just curious what they would look like. I am pretty sure she is the only female that i have, with the exception of a red fin borleyi that i have whos sex is still in question. I am starting to think it is a female as well ?

Well after doing some research, I am going to make an egg tumbler tonight. Then I will try and catch her and strip her. Keep you posted. Will the fry be healthy being cross bred like they will be?

Here's mine I used florescent light tubing pvc pipes cuplings and mesh window screens as holders but for smaller eggs use panty hose...quick trick...my syno lucippini eggs were so small they would fall through mesh

I have the eggs"tumbling" don't think they are moving enough, at least not all the eggs. I have the air tube hooked direct to the pump. Is there a way to adjust the current after the pump?

Do you any of you think getting a small air stone will create more current in there?
