    Is this a Pair

    I have a pair of Turks spawning all the time, now the eggs usually have little black dots in them then the get a bit fungal and go white then the parents each them.
    How do I stop the eggs going white
    When I get back from bali in a few weeks they will go into my Breeding tank as long as my sick goldern sunrise still isnt in there.
    These Guys have had plenty of practice and defend there eggs with there life
    I have this older goldern crystal in the tank with them the king. He or She has massive fights with the big male Turk its quite a site. They do 180 spins and through gravel up.
    Would this Crystal be a male. I thought he was trying to shack up with the male Turq
    Not anymore

    The only way to find out is to put them in the breeding tank. Keep the water in there very clean, and slightly more acid than your display tank.

    With luck, you should see wrigglers.
