Anyone know if its normal for a GT Juv female to lay eggs? I've had mine for about 4 months now, she is maybe 3 1/2 inches long. I thought she was a male until I woke up today to find what looks to be greenish-white-yellow eggs on t he side of a pot, right next to a hole she had dug out in the gravel.

Yes it's normal. As you probably know they are relatively easy to breed and when they pair up, they make great parents. Weekly 1/3 partial water changes will help induce spawning. After laying their eggs the fry will hatch in three to four days. Both parents will guard the fry. Is there a male in the tank too?Gryphon said:
I can't tell if they are fertile by looking at the photo, you'll just have to wait for a couple of days to find out! 
I'm not a big fan of hybrids, but sometimes they do come out looking cool.
Like spy said, leave the eggs in there. If they hatch, you'll know that you have hybrids, if they don't, you should get that girl a male GT

Non viable normally go opaque within 24 hours. At 48-72 you can see the lil black dot that is the eye.
