help fish eggs in filter!

[trulytropical]

hi i put some leopard and zebra danios in my first tropical tank last week.
there are 6 of them and a leopard has layed eggs, but they are in the filter well on the outside, but are too big to be sucked through how do i get them off and keep them safe to breed. please help. many thanks glenn!

If they can't get sucked up just leave them there.

 

[trulytropical]

but what will happen when they spawn will they get sucked up then!
thanks!

Only thing is that if you move them you can damage them, do you have a big piplette that you maybe could suck them into.

 

[trulytropical]

what is that? thanks

i have a gravel cleaner and i could suck them into a bag and peg the bag to the side of the tank so it stays at the same temperature!?

 

[WILDER]

You could try that then, a piplette is a plastic strindge thing that comes with meds.

just to make sure do eggs look like little bubbles and how long would they take to hatch thanks!!

have a look in the Fish index section under Cyprinids - zebra danios. It has info on how long they take to hatch and how long they become free swimming.

Well i found my first danio egg. It looked like a little transparent ball.
