Re: Sand spam

Are Northo eggs sticky like Fp. type eggs are? Or do Northo eggs just fall down and roll all over the place like Tetra type eggs do?

Rosario LaCorte recommended #2 gravel. And no, the eggs are not damaged in 
that process. However, they are damaged when separated by a sieve. If you 
think about a suspension of heavier, larger gravel and lighter smaller eggs 
they will naturally flow to the interstices between the gravel when suspended 
in water. Only when water free does it cause a problem with sand smaller than 
the eggs.
