Eggs vs Khuli loaches

[mikewang]

are the eggs in trouble in this situation? it might be quite difficult to get the 2 khuli loaches out of this densely planted 10g. also i wouldnt want to have to move the cacutoides to another tank because i think the female just started to settle in, within the dense planting. though no eggs nor fat stomach from the female. what should i do to help the female raise the eggs properly.

Get the kuhlis out, you'll never have fry unless you do. They can be caught in a 10, just get a bigger net. I have caught them in a heavily planted 60g before.

otto cat
bushy nose pleco
amano shrim

[mikewang]

the snail is a nertie snail. here's a pic of its "teeth"

scientific name is Neritina natalensis

the snail is no bigger than 1" at the longest point.

Most snails will eat eggs.
