Egg Tumbler and Morrii "Dolphin" Spit

[JMatthew]

I had a Dolphin who was holding who got scared and spit. She picked them all backup within about 15 minutes, but I'm afraid that she might drop them again.

So - two question...

First...will her eggs still be okay even though she dropped them and picked them back up.

Second...anyone have a egg tumbler I can buy off of them just in case I need one. She seems pretty skittish.

If she picked them back up, they should be ok. Seems like she may be a good momma since she did pick them up.

I've tumbled a lot of cichlid eggs in a net hanging in the tank above a sponge filter or an airstone. It's not fancy, but my eggs hatch and the fry survive.

If you have other fish in the tank, they will eat the eggs or non- free swimming fry through the net, at least that was my experience.

I've tumbled eggs in a net a few times and they all survived but they
were in a tank by themselves and not with other fish.

If ya Dolphin pick'd the eggs back up they should be ok.
Just watch her to make sure she don't spit them out again.

She prob spit em out when she got scared.
If ya can keep her somewhere that she won't get spook'd by other fish
or by people she would prob do much bet'r.

I moved her to a 20 gallon all by herself. Unfortunatley I had to set up the 20 near a walkway in the house. I put a towel over the tank, though so she hopefully won't be disturbed.

She will be just fine if you have her in a tank by herself. Just check on her every day or so. When she spits she'll be hungry and fry can and probably will be on the menu.

Good luck.

Thanks for everyone who offered to help!

I guess she didn't make it. I look in her tank about 2 days ago and it really didn't lool like she had anything - so I dared to take her out and look and upon inspection there were no eggs :(...

Oh, back with the colony and hopefully things will kick off again soon!
