Silvertip Breeding

[luka]

my siltertips are breeding, there are other fish in there, should i take them out? if the babies make it what do feed them? its a 50 gallon, there are eggs already.

Yes remove the eggs, chances are they will get eaten by other fish (including the parents). You can place them in a 10 Gallon and feed one of the following:

-Baby Brine Shrimp (you will need both, eggs and a hatchery (you can either buy one, or make a diy one). This is the best food for baby fry)

-Hikari First Bites

Silvertip Tetras, I presume? Their eggs are so small . . . how did you find the eggs? How did you catch them? Spawning mop? Curious what other fish you have in there? Any photos?

yep silvertips tetra, Saw some chasing in the tank, but noticed it was a male (orange) chasing a female(yellow) they were weaving inbetween plants and every once in a while stopped to shake,then started to notice eggs in all sorts of places, their shiny white and TINY, I only had bought the tetras a few days ago, the thought of breeding them never even came to mind. No eggs have hatched I think my PH is too high for the eggs to hatch which is a bummer.
