My Red Cap Lay Eggs!

[dingweding]

I had two of my red caps in a seperate heavy planted tank, normally goldfish do not live in planted tank, but I just think it looks so nice. so far so good. They are stunning show quality red cap, as you can see their pic in my signature, the 4th from the left side.

They always chasing each other, but I thought both of them are male, as I notice the white dots on their top fins, which is a sign of mature male. although one is not so obvious.

This morning I wake up, switch on light, and shocked to see eggs every well. I guess they ate some eggs, there are also some cherry shrimps live in the tank, they might eat some as well, but I guess the rest will survive. I did successfully breed goldfish years ago,but now I do not have empty tanks to keep those future babies .

I do not know should I be happy or sad

Now the babies are hatched, I do not have spare tank, so just left them there, and some eggs get eaten, some unfertile, but about 100 or so born today

I guess all my fry died

as I did a water change yesterday. before, I can see hundreds of them hanging on the tank glass. But this morning, I can barely find one or two.

I try to feed some yolk, but can not find any fry, I guess they died
