Congratulations!

If you can see the eggs, please try to take photos.

One thing that comes to mind...a common danger is fungus. You probably should add small amount of meth blue to your 10g, hopefully someone can advise on dosing.

I'll second the request for pics. Of the 10g, and the larger tank, and the female/males, and the eggs!

As for the meth blue, yes alot of angel breeders who move eggs into hatching tanks will use it. Here is a link to raising angel fry artificially. Don't know if it will work for yoyo eggs but it's worth a look:

I don't know that I'd add the meth blue, myself, but then again, fungus is often an issue with eggs. In your case, since this is possibly a first time thing and your female is still 'fat' I would hold off on it. If they are going to fungus you will know within 24/48 hours and will know better for the next batch whether this is an issue.
books. gotta love em!

Pictures of the eggs are not possible with my equiptment. Sorry. :oops: What little I did save are scrattered in a 10gal. with gravel and I can not even find them! Eggs are not the big deal anyway, it's what comes out of them? Some of the pictures on this site are so amazing I don't know if the ones I do have are even worth posting. Maybe this one might do...
