B&W Occs eating eggs??

[RKelman]

My B&W Occs have been spawning for about 3 months now. The last nest they ate and this weeks they have eaten over half of it so far. Nothing has changed except maybe we feed them more than we did at the start. Any suggestions? Can I just pull the eggs after they are fertilized? Or should I just leave them alone to sort it out?

We could never figure it out either.
We tried pulling the pots/nests early but never got that good at keeping them to full term. Usually lost them to fungus despite trying everything. (Methylene Blue and antibiotics)
I had setup an elaborate system of pumps and timers but by then it was too late for my spawning pairs of blacks. I'm working on something tonight that might work for pulling eggs early. I'll keep you posted.
Good luck, keep notes and let us know if you figure anything out. BTW, did you try asking at MOFIB?

Thanks. Dman. I may just pull the tile and try and incubate it. I have nothing to lose. I did ask there and didn't get any help. I'll let you know how I make out.

Hello Gentlemen,

This is a little off topic but i was wondering where you got you B&W clowns from? I've been looking around and nobody seems to have them and who does seem to have them, it would cost an arm and a leg to get them to me. I'm from the London ON area, if that helps.

Thanks for your time!

Greg
