RE: Moving Fish to another Tank

Personally, I wouldn't take the chance.  I put my small hatching tanks in
the microwave just to be sure.  If you did have "ghost eggs" hatch out you
might not know it for a long time.

HI All,

Tom Cook here in frigid Cincinnati.  I am moving some juvenile
Aphyosemion elberti that have started to sex out into a larger tank to
make room for another batch of elberti from a different location. The
water is aged tap at approx. 300ppm TDS. My question is: Do I have to
worry about eggs in the plants hatching and mixing up  my strains, or
will the high TDS prevent ANY eggs from hatching?  I would rather not
move the plants if I can be assured that they will not mix up my
separate strains.

Thanks,
Tom Cook
