hey everyoen I have been trying to get my tripple red cockatoos to breed for months now and while I have had successful spawns they always eat the eggs/fry. I just had another batch and I was wondering what do I need to do if I remove the eggs? From start to finish anti fungal? airation? come on give me the works!!

thanks

I have removed eggs from my apisto C and had them hatch.

I get a small tank (5g) and when the pair is starting to spawn I set it up with tap water the same temp as the pairs tank, an airstone and heater. Once I'm sure they have finished spawning I remove the cave (careful as the eggs don't always stick too well) and place it in the small tank.

Place the airstone very close to the eggs and add about 3mls of hydrogen peroxide (3%solution from the drug store) every 12 hours till they are wigglers. By the time they hatch the chlorine in the tap water is gone and it will provide extra anti fungus protection.

Any w/c I do on wigglers or free swimmers I use aged water for the next 2 or 3 weeks.

Keep the tank bottom clean and you should do fine.

Good luck
