Help me please.
I was going to feed my fish and I just have seen Swordtails how they were eating something from glass. My Swordtails eat anytning , however I was wondering what do they eat this time. Suddenly, I saw some small balls of about 1mm. Hm, they could be eggs of my three Bronze cories.
Other fish couldn’t lay eggs on glass, since I have 15 Neon tetras, three small Bristlenose catfish and three Swordtails. Probably I’m right.
What should I do now? In my opinion, Swordtails will eat the eggs and no newborns will born . Do I have to move the eggs or fish? If fish, then all of them, or only Swordtails? I have one 15 litres back-up tank for such cases.
Thanks .
Tony

I would recommend that you seperate the eggs as they will be eaten. They lay eggs on the glass or your filter stems, in yourcase it is your glass. Remove the parents or the eggs. Use a single-edged razor blade to (carefully) slice off the eggs after they harden and put them in a half-filled pre-prepared tank. Newborn catlets make very tasty snacks.
