My yellow clown gobies just spawned. Someone ate some of the eggs overnight, but there's still a fair amount left.
I'm curious if there's a way to safely collect the eggs to move to a hatchery so nobody eats them before they hatch? I was reading about making an egg tumbler or something, but want to make sure that at least I can collect the eggs without damaging them as they're so tiny. I have many other fish in the tank, along with snails and pesky bristleworms that I haven't been able to get rid of due to they large numbers, so I want to make sure the eggs can safely hatch, even if they're not able to survive.
I can worry about the rearing when/if I can collect the eggs.
I also don't want to disrupt the spawning cycle.
