And here's a bunch of eggs just laying there with yolk sacks. They might be tempted to nibble on the eggs if they are hungry. The bottom line is...why take a chance?
Thank you for the advice. I was a little leary about keeping them together so I made a makeshift hatchery and it's floating inside the other one. This morning I see, so far, about 5 new fry out of the 50+ eggs I collected but the day is still young . I also have more arriving in the next 4 days. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress.
