I read several times that any snails in the tank would eat the eggs, and since we used to feed snails to the puffer that used to reside in the tank, there are tons of snails appearing now that he’s not in it any more.
The males have shown some breeding colors since we removed the eggs, but I haven’t seen any new eggs.
Even if I do I don’t think that I will remove those eggs unless I have a clean snail free tank to put them into.
