I posted this on another forum, but later realized there's a fish breeding forum.

oh, now you've gone and done it. You're in for a world of hurt now :)

Joyce Someoneoranother, is my favorite.

It' best to remove the eggs if you were going to try to rear them, but doesn't sound like it's feasible here. Joyce Wilkersons book is probably a good place to start. You likely will have 0% survival on this hatch, but they will continue to spawn. Your probably best just letting them become food for your tank....but....

The fry will hatch shortly after lights about 7-10 days after the eggs were laid. You can use a flashlight (or other light source) to attract them to an area at the surface where you can try to collect some. Rotifers make a good initial food, and are available all over the place (try http://rotifer.com).

Read through the posts here and you'll find out more.
