Betta Spawning
Is there any harm in removing the female before they are finished spawning?
I don't want 50,000 babies! What will happen to the eggs that she hasn't expelled? TIA -- D.S. It's always darkest before dawn, so if you're going to steal your neighbor's fish, that's the time to do it.

A large spawn for a big healthy female would be 1,000. Even if they all hatched and all the fry survived, you have little to worry about as for reaching that 50,000 mark. ;-) Yes, the female can be removed early. The unfertilized eggs will either be released by the female or they will be re-absorbed. Hopefully, you are prepared to raise the fry that will happen, even in a time shortened spawn. Jim
