The male has kick the eggs out of cave do i leave the eggs or do i need to do anything

Hi,

My suggestions would be to put them in a wire net with an airstone underneath. Once kicked out, it is rare for the male to retrieve. Hope this works..cheers jk

if you dont have a fry saver use a fish net and put the eggs in that. if you leave the eggs loose in tank they will get eaten.
then put net somewhere where it gets water flow, such as by air stone or by filter outlet. they need a gentle flow of water (thats why the male fans the eggs.
if he is still fanning t means he has not kicked them all out.
if they are very cloudy it may mean they are infertile and thats why he has kicked them out.

Thanks for the help i,ve put the eggs in a fry net near to the out flow of the filter hope this works i,ll keep you posted

Congrats on your spawn..
So how did they do?. Update time lol
Well I hope. I use a simple strainer over my air driven sponge filter..Works a treat and I upgrade to larger one as they grow..Once big enough to take care of themselves(a few weeks) I release back into tank...

great, should hatch after 5 or 6 days, then still keep in net or saver while they use the egg sack.

Hi just a quick update 6 have hatch the rest of the eggs are covered in white fungus sadly
