I've been researching on breeding and i've came upon a website that said when the eggs are laid they need to be removed immediately but cant be exposed to air??? So is that true?????

I always use one of those little pipettes that you get with bottle of medication to move my eggs. That way a bit of water goes witht hem too and they are not exposed to air.

what if you put them in a clean jar (while the jar is in the tank) so they never touch the air? would that work?

mine touched the air when i removed them from the plastic plants they were stuck to. I kept them wet while I did it though. The eggs hatched and I'm currently raising the 1 month old fry.
