Cherry Barbs

[alittlefishy]

I have a 100 gal. tank and in it I have a selection of tetras, catfish, loaches and barbs, my cherry barbs seem to be mating. My question is, how long does it take for them to lay their eggs and how long after that do the eggs hatch?

Cherry barbs lay eggs. When spawning, the female will deposit one to three eggs at a time, until she has deposited up to 300. The eggs will be seen hanging from plants by a small thread. The eggs are attached to threads that are attached to plants. Feed the parents white worms during spawning to insure that they do not eat their eggs. After spawning has been completed, remove the pair. The fry hatch after 24 hours and are free swimming after 2-3 days. Start feeding with newly hatched brine shrimp and crushed flakes.
