Getting to the tricky part over the next day or two when the eggs start to hatch!
Seems to be two trains of thought?
1. The eggs must be left with the male as he need to assist the hatching process.
2. The eggs can be removed at the stage where im at now and finish hatching in a frysaver.
Am trying to work out which way to go atm 8O

Is it worth trying both ways ?
IE leaving some with the male and removing some to a fry saver? 8O

I want to see it through more yet as ive still got to get they fry past the first few weeks which im led to believe can be quite tricky!
I may give it a go as you are the second person to suggest this now and if you guys think its workable then maybe i should have a bash
