:confused: Now, I KNOW my fish was holding eggs for over 3 weeks now...I had even sep. her from the rest of the fish into a small container that sat down inside the tank...yesterday as I was feeding the others some food floated over into the container...I happened to look over there and saw her EAT! The eggs are gone??? but I have yet to see ANY sign of babies in the tank...they would have been small enough to swim out of the container. Do you think after holding over 3 weeks she swallowed them??? *sigh*

Hard to say. She may have spit them out and they are either hiding in the rocks, or got ate by other tank mates, or she swallowed them herself.

If your interested in raising the fry, have you thought about striping the eggs and using an egg tumbler till they hatch?

Sorry to hear about this.

Aw JN dang...yeah I really dont think they are IN the tank...as much as I watch that tank I would think I would have seen at least ONE scoot around but no, I havent. Well, I thought about that Orion but really didnt want to go that route. I really dont have the room in that tank for MORE fish. I want to get a bigger tank buttttt ( if crap wouldnt keep coming up!!!! as it so often does! *ALL* ) it keeps gettin pushed back further and further. Andddddddd omg last night I dreamt I woke up and my little blue Jo was dead!!! ackkk lol These fish are more than just on my mind. ;)
