(USA)	nice pearl Fh you got there waelaase! but feeding live fish will only give it a chance to get in contact with diseases.. so for two week it hasnt eaten?? was it like that with the original owner?? or is it just stressed and not use to its surrounding? also did you deworm the fish before adding to the new tank?? how is the water parameters?/ temp and so forth.. please give some updates and hope all goes well..

	Some say size doesn't matter. I said it does especially when you're talking about one's Kok.. haha

Unless you breed the live fish yourself they can carry a lot of diseases.. If he eats other food then feed him frozen bloodworms and pellets...

Zygotes Posts: 10 Group: Members Member #12,668 Joined: November 20, 2009	Hello new update the eggs did not hatch today is the forth day and all the eggs went white and then they got eaten i guess i need to wait for the next time to see how long does it take the female to lay eggs again?

Addicted to flowerhorns Posts: 2,298 Group: Global Moderators/ Team RUS Member #10,977 Joined: May 6, 2008 Favorite Strain NONE of The ABOVE	If they are fighting then it is best to separate them using a divider. Introduce them when they start cleaning their side of the tank and keep an eye on them. If the eggs are fertile then you will see two black dots on each egg within 2 days. If they are unfertile then the eggs will turn white in a day or two. Different females lay eggs at different times. I have had a female fh who would lay eggs once a week while some of my other female fh would lay eggs once a month... Good luck :)
