It only took about a year, but my Congo tetras finally spawned directly over the egg-catching tub I made. That means I have a little tub with water, eggs, and other "crap" that floated its way in there. Now what?
The eggs are super-delicate, which I discovered after touching one which didn't look fertilized. It imploded. I tried rinsing them out and getting rid of a lot of the brown gunk they were sitting in. Hopefully I didn't destroy them.
Not knowing where else to put them, they are now in an external breeder box with a slow dribble coming in from the tank they were laid in. I also wonder if they'll be warm enough. Hmm. Other than that, I guess I will wait and see. Vinegar eels and microworms are on standby.
