help me on this.. dunno what to do ar..

i went back home today, and found out that my TR was holding.. dunno how many days, and i dont have any space avialable.. wanna let her hold until her spit, but the last experience with my auratus (bullied to death) make me think twice.. keep with my other 4 TR and an albino peacock.. 4 M 2F..

i want to tumble the eggs, but dunno how.. no experienece what-so-ever.. i got 2 F only, so i scared if she death becoz of mistreatment.. advice needed..

first of all, Congrats and glad to hear that u are providing them a good home...

Just leave the female at where she is, she will hold till full term and if u like, u can stripe her at around days of 10 - 13 of holding...

u can call me if have any doubt on it... Good Luck...

Taiwan Reef female holding? Congratulations!

Tumbling is a bit more work (and need equipment) - sorry, can't help you here.

Hmm .. 4 TR and an albino peacock (4 M 2F) ... 4-footer tank? If there are enough hiding places, then EzieG's advice sounds good to me.

Congratulations!

Must have been quite a good experience, stripping the fry.

Yeah, the fry pretty much eat anything - they are pretty hardy and should do fine with any flake or small pellet food. They eat VERY LITTLE, so don't worry if it looks like they didn't eat anything.

Happy Fishkeeping!
