the female lays her eggs nearly spot on every saturday night
so i guess just keep waiting
Tue Oct 13, 2009, 05:32 AM
had a closer look today
they are more white than yellow
does it matter that they are on the tank glass
should i invest in a breeding cone
or just let nature take its course and leave them alone
Mon Oct 12, 2009, 11:20 PM
white or yellow eggs its hard to tell
i guess they are closer to white than anything
i might le tthem go till 4 days see if they hatch
if all eggs are unfertilised is it ok to suck them up...
