Help!! LH Eggs...what should I do?

24-10-2009, 08:30 PM

Hi all bros...
today i come back home...i noticed there were a lot of white colour bubbles which looked like egg.
I compare with reddevil's post...looks the same
the problem is, I only have one LH...the other half is a pearl arrow and some clown loaches.
i do not have a male LH in the same tank.

are these eggs fertilised?
or are they useless?
what should I do next?
I saw in reddevil's thread he only left them in a pail and constantly change water..
need to wait 20days?

the mother seems very defensive...she keep attacking my net when i try to scoop the eggs...i worry the sucker fish and the clown loach attach it
or maybe suck into the eheim

thanks for all help...this is like emergency to me..hahaha
karang gaboh...worst than my wife pregnant that time..hehe

i cannot post any pic at the moment as i am still noob.

IMHO,you should remove those eggs,they are unfertilized.Not advisable to let any of the fish eat the eggs though... (Correct me if l`m wrong)

Reason for the female dropping eggs is either overfeeding or she has too many eggs.

Most of the eggs start to turn white, mean they are unfertilized.

Clear them if you want.

i think it's better to remove them before they start to turn mouldy.

Since you are newbie and you are aware of your posts, I am fine with it. One good thing, you got yourself a female for a start.

thanks for the forgiveness...this is the first time my fish got eggs. and i was like 2 posts away from hotlinking my image.
the fish make me kan cheong for nothing...then i go check 4D...no open yet leh..hehe

btw..i know it is hard to get female...but if i do not have intention to breed hor...female also no use right?
i was wondering why the kok cannot come out..
i used to feed about every 2 hrs...hehe..but over the last 2-3 days...she didn't want to eat much...i was surprised...
i think this is machiam like wet dream for guys...i didn't know female also got

when i was scooping the eggs...she was attacking my net...kinda sad..like i steal her babies

anyone got male want to par cheng?

easier to get males than females, as most lfs sell males with beautiful "kok".
so go experiment.
good luck to breeding potential.
