Re: Just saying hi! (And help)
It had been around 5-7 days with no signs of hatching so I turned the temp up to 25.5 today. A couple of hours later and I have some little wrigglers coming through! I hope a decent amount survive. The tank mates are guppies and kuhli loaches - I should be right with them?

Re: Just saying hi! (And help)
So I have quite a few little BNs swimming around now and wondering how normal it is to have half of the albino and half normal? Given that their parents are both not albino

Re: Just saying hi! (And help)
Parents are probably heterozygotes - if your parents are the children of an albino parent and a brown parent (i.e., the grandparents of your babies), you should expect that (on average) 25% of your babies will be albino and 75% brown. Of course, the exact ratio will vary, but from spawn to spawn should work out this way if survival is similar for both color morphs.

Re: Just saying hi! (And help)
So I have a whole bunch of fry and they all seems to be doing quite well. However, I've noticed the male fanning again the last few days and just noticed some eggs. Certainly didn't want this. Is the best option to remove one (or both) females? If I get rid of the eggs, they're just going to make more yeah?

Re: Just saying hi! (And help)
instead of removing the females, remove the male. If he is fanning, he should be far easier to remove.
