Ok the male zebra is still in the cave , now its going on the 8 day from the last time i saw the female in there.....So im guessing she layed the eggs last monday....So should I just remove him and throw the whole cave in the breeding trap?? Or the male and the whole cave?? Or should I just try to see if there is eggs and just dump the eggs (if any) in the trap....Thanks!

Jerms,

IMO, you should leave the male with the eggs until the fry has absorbed the yolk sac, unless he has a history of eating the eggs/fry then I would remove them as soon as they hatch.

Jerms,

I agree with Ken. Leave them with the male as he seems to be doing a good job. If he was going to eat the eggs he would have done it already and he would be hanging his tail out of the cave by now trying to attract another female. What ever you decide on doing I would strongly advise against taking the eggs if they haven't hatched yet. You might want to be extra vigilent from now on as wrigglers can sometimes get accidently kicked out of the cave.

Thanks Ken an adam!!
I would have to agree with you, and like adam points out, if he ate them he would have done it already!...So I guess I will wait...and see.........
