Bn Seperated From Eggs, Will He Return?

[matchstickman47]

theyd be pretty pathetic if they didnt survive.......

ok so i was going to clean my filter and my bn was in there again so i fished him out, problem was here was gaurding eggs in there (realy pissed him off) no clue where he is in the tank now

the eggs were not fully submerged for a few second while i put them in the main tank.... in a coconut cave ( they wernt exposed to light... i turned it off)

will they be okay
the male isnt gaurding them now but if he finds em will he resume his manly duties?



ahhhhh so worried

iam sure they will be fine, i once took my bn eggs out for atleast 3mins in there pot fully out of water and they all still hatched and had around 100+ fry enjoy

hmm being a 1st timer and other fish, you may be ok you may not 50-50...
my male left the eggs once after i moved the pot for the whole day with guppys and eygptian mouthbrooders in with them and they did not touch the eggs...dont worry wont be long for another batch

Shooing them away is also scaring him away. Catch the Khuili's and put them in a net till he guards the eggs again

or put a temporary mesh in the way ?


just an idea

hes outside the cave now..... no ones entered the cave yet so its all good. lol if another batch comes it will probs be in the bloody filter again.. i cant stop them
