Well, there are only about 40 left. She has started picking them off slowly. I just can't get them out because of where they laid them. BUMMER! Here are a couple shots of the female.

They'll lay again...just leave the tank the way it is. Mine pair was breeding but then stopped since I upgraded the tank...Could have to do with the addition of tankmates too. Either way, they were laying every week, getting further and further in the process and then I changed their habitat. Moral of the story is to not mess with the good things and be patient.
well I'd think they did ok considering it's the first try.
Man that's so right. I'll try to remember that...

That is so true. That kind of sucks though. I was about to change the tank up. LOL I'll wait a bit and see what happens.
I got up this morning to find only 4 eggs. She's still doing her job with them though.

Not an option. The snails and or tetras would get them.
I just removed the barrier and opened the tank. I'll let them start over and hope they use the rock I'd like them to use.
Usually they eat them if they are infertile as over time the infertile eggs can infect the fertile ones.
I had a Red Severum Male breed with a female gold a dozen times, eggs were never fertile. I have only heard of many people having unsuccessful breeding attempts with the Reds, I hope you have some success. Your pair still looks young too so give them time.
Ill have to post a pic of my pair I had a year or so ago.

Some of the eggs, will turn within 24 hours, some seem to drag out. How many days did your eggs last?

Today was day 3. They didn't seem to be turning white though. A few did but not many. Dad seemed to just set the tone and ate most of them. Then Mom slowly picked them off. I have faith in them. They'll get it right or I'll play parent fish. LOL
