My piranhas laid eggs in the gravel is this bad when should I take them out how do I incubate them??

if this is just the first time, let it be. allow the parents
nurture the eggs and see what happens.

i am not sure about piranha but pacu used to burrow the egg under the
pebbles once fertilized and just watch the area.

my experience dealing with fish spawning... dont even think about messing with them because if they spawned in the first place conditions were decent enough, i wouldnt change anything. i tried to separate off a few batches of convict fry to try to ease their parents agression but out of all the eggs i only got a few to live. but, if i dont do anything i would end up with 60 or 70 little fish swimmin around... and they get eaten by my electric yellows wich is fine with me. i did have about 60 of some 1/4"long babies that i was able to net and isolate, but i wouldnt even bother messing with anything smaller than that. if you really want to breed, you should put your pair in a tank all by themselfs.

what kind of piranhas are they??? can you ship them if your successful? i would buy some from you lol. u would have to label them as pacu or somethin tho bc i doubt customs would let that slide in like that lol.

lol i can just see it now, a felony over a fish tank! haha awesome.
