I plan to take out the eggs in about 2 days time. Is that too late? I read it hatches in about 5 days. I think that's only the first day, the eggs still yellow. When gonna hatch turn black? Should I take out the rosy barbs instead? There's only 3 of them, I dunno if the rainbowfish will eat the eggs. The eggs are too big for them to eat I think. Too big for their mouth.

The male fish taking good care of the eggs wor, sitting on it and fanning it. I didn't even see the eggs until I stare at the male long enough for it to move and show the eggs. The pair laid one strip of eggs along the canister filter intake tube, very convenient to take out .

If i take the eggs out now will the eggs fungus? The fry they say very hard to raise... coz they are lazy feeders. I plan to put them in a shallow tray and spread liquifry and microworms on the floor. Will this work? Will methylene blue kill the microworms or be absorbed by them? Being grandad not easy
