Hi

Please advice
Should I take the eggs out and tumble it?

While doing water change today, I accidentally disturb a cave which contains EGGS! inside with the male when I lift up to check.

This is the 2nd cave with eggs!
The 1st cave, I saw wrigglers

Congrats. Every situation is different. For me, I need to pull my L201 wrigglers before they leave the cave. Don't know why, but I don't have a good survival rate in their tank so I move them into a fry box for a while and then into a grow out tank.

One other thing, these are the slowest growing L#s I have.

I always leave fry until they are "almost" ready to come out...

You will see them starting to congregate near the opening after a few weeks

Then I remove to their own small grow tank, in the same water...

I use small 25 liter tanks mounted on the side of my 5 footers complete with their own plants and aged bogwood....siphon and overflow back to the main sump...

Ive seen small fry "pop" If put In different water....even with only small differences In PH, so better not to risk It, especially with fry that are potentially worth a lot of dollars.

Cheers
