Its time for a water change but there are eggs!

[Ben]

Just wondering what other breeders do when it comes to water changes whilst there are eggs.

of course we would not do a water change a couple of hours just after the pair have laid eggs but...

i run sponge filters in my tanks and do a 30-50 % water change every 2-3 days. When doing a water change whilst there are eggs is this likely to damage the eggs in any way? eg temp ph etc.

i am using a guard to cover the eggs so they will not be eaten, there is no worry in the pair eating the eggs.

also what about wrigglers?
still do a water change?


cheers,
Ben

That's good news Ben. Keep doing your water changes, but I would cut back the amount to about 20% every two days, or 10% daily if you can manage that. Make very sure to have temp and pH equal to the tank water, before adding. Keep the bottom of the tank clean.

Good luck.
