dogstar u would have soooooooo much money if u kept the babys i think i have to act like u and say i dont wanna raise the eggs and then they will start laying!lol mine wont eat mysis for some reason they ONLY take in brine idk why though!

 

[dogstar]

Stop feeding them brine. They get hungry enough and they will eat the mysis. They want breed if there not fed properly. Among other things.

ok thanks dog ill try it tonight during there feeding and that will help her (if she has eggs in her) make them healthier? and the fish!

You'll probably need to starve them a little for them to swap foods. Once they get used to one food that is given to them consistantly they will refuse to eat until very hungry. Brine is a very poor food, and should only be given to jump start feeding in new fish IMO.

could this be why her tube went up the 1st time and the eggs died inside her and she pooped them up?

Eating all that brine is probably making her fat, but unhealthy. Think of brine like how you think about jello. When your hungry you can eat it, but it doesn't give any protien or vitamins. Now you eat it everyday and everytime your hungry, so you get big and fat off of the sugar but still get very unhealthy and die of malnutrition.
