Bristlenose Egg Hatching Question

[5teady_2012]

I have had to move the eggs to a trap in another tank with a airstone in due to the father having a mild case of whitespot which is now under treatment..

My question is, will the eggs still hatch?

I cant see why not as long you replicate the flow that the male produces while fanning.

Do you mean becasue you have moved them or becasue the main tank had whitespot?

I had to move them away form him with him having white spot, a moved them to another tank with the females, the trap has a airstone in, and one of my filters is like a waterfall outlet and the traps right up against it half of the flow is dropping in the trap providing constant fresh water in to it.

I have had to treat both the breeding tank, and the growout tank, im just hoping the treatment dont cause any harm to the eggs.

I would be more concerned with the treatment harming the fry after they are swimmers. I've routinely added antibacterials & antifungals to a variety of species I'm hatching out at a concentration greater than what would normally be used for free swimming fish. Once they are swimmers you want that concentration to be half or less of the normal dosage.

I've had bristlenose kick the eggs out of the cave on occasion for whatever reason, often doing what you are doing using a 2.5 gallon tank. They hatch, get fed for a few days, and get put into a larger growout tank, no different from those hatched by the male.

Because the fish are scaleless, i have already halfed the dosage mate already, so u think the fry if they hatch maybe ok?...
