I put my not so red male texas in with the female flowerhorn 2 weeks ago, they started digging nests & changing their colors. This morning I woke up to brown eggs in one of the nest. Ive never breed fish before & was wondering what to do if the eggs are fertile & hatch?
I do have a 20 & 29gal sitting here if I need to setup if they hatch
female flowerhorn

male texas

together

eggs

well
if the pair are alone
they will probably raise the babys themselves

after the fry are free swiming you could set them up in their own tank

The texas is one of the three red texas that I bought from you in February, hes twice the size of the other two.

Unfortunately I lost the flowerhorn last week when she came down with red sores on her side. I did a treatment with E.M. Erythromycin but didn't save her.
Now the Texas has a red sore on his lip, between lip & nose & nostrils.

I would do a large water change
and treat with tetracycline and/or other powerful antibiotics

erythro is more for eyes and mild infections
sounds like you have a serious cas

we have several types of antibiotics here at the store

I had to move the tank this past week so the only old water was a in the canister & the bucket the fish was in.
Ill change the water tomorrow & treat it.

Thanks for the help

I wish I was closer, over an hour away from the Cape.

started treatment with API T.C.Tetracycline, got a nice layer of yellow foam floating on the surface.

There was 3" of foam on top of the water this morning, is this normal with the powder medication? Mostly above the airstone.
