Hi there.
My male pearly jawfish has got a mouthful of eggs. I know even if I remove him from the tank now (which I couldn't successfully do without destroying the tank) that he wouldn't do well in a separate tank as he needs to dig his burrow and get comfortable, but.... what if I could just get the eggs out of the tank? He often spits them out to improve his burrow and if I could net them, would they hatch in a separate tank or do they need "Dad" to hatch? I've raised seahorse fry and clownfish fry, but never had a jawfish breed before. Anyone know?
