green chromis

[johnl69]

MY pair of chromis are breeding again Yipee!:D hopefully this time the cleaner wrasse doesn't eat all the eggs:mad:.

was woundering if the alk would have triggered this? if my memory serves me correctly the last time i dosed "reef builder"(bout 2 month ago) they bred then and where laying eggs for about a week. coincidence?

Hi John it could have been the trigger for them to spawn,as most fish do when there is a change in the water make up. A friend of mine used to breed tetra's and he used to dump a load of cold wter in to trigger them. All the best with them and keep us updated as to how they go on. Eric:D

why dont you get a small tank and just remove the eggs into it, no need for skimmer just a small powerhead or even an air line, and a heater. T8 light would be fine also.

Then just do 25% water changes everyday. To compensate for all the uneaten food you'd be feeding the babies.

they always lay there eggs on the silicoln so its kind of hard to remove them, I have thought of make a false corner from 2 lengths of glass silicolned together and then removing it to a seperate tank.
