How Soon Can You Pull L333 Eggs?

L333 Breeding Update:

 

My King Tigers spawned for the first time 7 weeks ago. I estimate that I found the 5 eggs, which had become wigglers, about 2 weeks after spawning. 

 

Once we discovered the eggs, I moved them to a breeder box in the same tank, and waited for them to grow a bit. Last week, moved all 5 to a grow-out tank (20g long). 

 

Dad had Mom trapped the last couple of days in his cave, and as of this morning, I saw eggs again! My question is this: how soon can I move the eggs to the breeder box? 

 

I’m asking because based on breeding other’s reports, with only 5 eggs being found, I think a few wiggled out of the cave last time and got picked off. 

 

Picture was taken today of the first babies now 7 weeks old!

Technically a few hours after being laid. Some argue the merits of being fanned by the parents, vs artifically rearing them. Dean will use a ziss egg tumblr or his fry try to replicate the fanning.

@Cory
Safe to assume that if the male is on the eggs solo that they are fertilized?

Anyone know?

Yes safe to assume they have been fertilized. Not sure how they know but typically they kick out any fungused or bad eggs during the process. Some of my fish hang out at the entrance waiting for them.
