Spinalcore Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I have Swordtails, 2 CAE, Danios, and misc small snails in one of my tanks. I have seen the CAE in one the Empty apple snail shells today I had a danio get inside it and flip the shell over traping herself inside and tried to break out but trapped herself in a hole that she made in the side of the shell and died. When I removed her from the shell there were all these eggs bunched together. They looked like a quartz piece of gravel so I dumped them back into the tank just to find the swords start to eat them. They are too big to be snail eggs from any of my snails, and I have read that Danios scatter their eggs. So now I'm left thinking that I just might have CAE eggs but I don't know if they are fertile I have put them in a seperate container floating in the tank. Does anyone know anything about CAE breeding just incase they are fertile? I am not even aware if I have a male and female, just females, or just males and the eggs just being danio eggs. Any help figuring this out would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozco Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 I was reading reciently that CAE's have not been bred successfully in captivity. BUT, it was a really old book so that could have changed. Is is possible though, that the Danio dropped all the eggs while she was trying to escape? I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
