My Furcata Rainbow - Laying eggs?

[waynet]

Hi:

Do you think my furcata rainbow fish are laying eggs?

I have 3 females and 1 male. I think the females are also eating each others eggs. What do the eggs look like?



Thanks for watching.

Nice looking furcata Wayne.

The eggs must be very small. I did not see anything that looks like eggs in the moss. They are in a 10g tank with 3 females and 1 male and there is not enough moss to hide the eggs so I think eventually they will be eaten.

That's definitely spawning behaviour. They spawn for days laying a few eggs at a time. My Getrudae spawn all the time but the eggs and fry are always eaten.

Happy New Year!
