Question
I had to move my breeding trio out of my 200 g into a 20 g in the process one of my females spit her eggs..I went ahead and put her and the eggs into a floating breeder..Do you think I will have any luck getting her to pick them back up? They are a creamish color..

Answer
Hi Heather,
  That is hard for me to day, but my guess is she will not.  Whether a particular species will "pick up" after having spit is actually one of the issues we work on in my lab.  Some species do and some definitely do not. I haven't tried it with Aulonocaras yet so please let me know what happens.
