Normal for them to spit out when stressed. I doubt the female wll take it back in.

Hatch it on your own. Put in breeder tank, then add aeration. If possible, set up another tank with same water, give aeration plus methylene blue.

shifus, can Acarichthys Heckelii comm with Uarus ?

currently i have clouded archers, uarus, red line torpedos and some friendly cats (pictus, irwini, syno brichardii, flag tail dinemas), everything is peaceful no one fights each other. thinking of adding a few heckelii to spice up the very empty tank....

Not an issue, but I think Heckelli can be abit bossy at times.

its normal. Its very unlikely the eggs will hatch, i suggest you do not waste time trying to hatch it.

Most likely the egg isnt fertilised or not hatch for some reason. The reason why there's orange eggs is probably because of the difference in water parameters.

I always separate my brooding female using the tank water that she is living in so there will not be any problem. even if i try to adjust new water similar to the tank water she is in, the eggs will have problem too

Picture with no lights. Can still see the blue spots.

Coolace, that's also my favourite EE, Satanoperca Leucosticta. Sadly quite uncommon nowadays and very similar to the Jurupari....but Leus have more sparkling blue spots.

Do pm me if you spot any....
