Ok, so I have this Cichlid that I bought from Petco a few weeks ago... I'm not exactly sure what it's name is, but I can get back to you on that when I go back.
So... I noticed this little fish acting strangly, and rubbing up against one of the mugs I have in my tank. Later I noticed that it had something hanging out of it's "butt" ... I thought maybe it was a shrimp that I have given it. Anyway... it turns out I have a lot of eggs on the side of my mug, and I don't know what to do now. I have 5 other Cichlids (all of different species) and 2 Goramis...
Is it possible for a fish to just lay unfertalized eggs? Or does it mean I will have a ton of fry soon? And if so, what should I do? Should I seperate the mom from the other fish? Or should I seperate the other fish from the mom? Ack!! I really don't want anyone to die!
Thank you so much to anyone who can help me!!
