Help Apisto Ponduro have spawned

[Paul Harrison]

HI guys I am new to apistos, I could do with some advice. My Ponduro have spawned in my community tank. There are a lot of eggs in a coconut shell, I want to move them into another tank as they will be eaten where they are. Can I just move the coconut on its own to another tank or do I need to make sure the female stays with them. Sorry if that appears to be a stupid question but any advice welcome.

It's possible to move the eggs without the female, but it will definitely make them more susceptible to fungal infection. Although in my experience, if you pick up the coconut, the female will probably attack your hand- making her pretty easy to grab in a net and move at the same time.

OK thanks for the feedback bseitz234 I will have a go at moving them both
