Title: Fish eggs
Post by: Silksheen on July 08, 2015, 12:19:35 PM

In particular Golden Barble's I know they maybe very small but what would they look like? Just so I know what to look for when hoovering the gravel. I have 6 Barbles 3 of which have silver belly's and the other 3 all gold.

They will be very tiny, you probably won't see them in/on the gravel. The egg laying species I've had have laid eggs maybe as much as 1mm across (probably less) and were they translucent balls.

Thanks for that Sue I guessed as much, didn't know if there might have been some distinct colour or something. The baby one a while back is doing well and almost as big as the rest now.
