Just wanted to know if my perc layed any eggs? I don't know the first thing on raising them with other fish in the tank.
So I'm looking for help.

Another option I've found was to use Joyce Wilkerson's larval snagger. I wish I had started with this method in the first place, it has maid it so much easier. Cut-off the end of a 2 liter bottle of soda and silicon it (Aquarium grade silicon) to a Permanent coffee filter. Put a small pump (40-100 gph) with a line running out of it the filter. Place the entire assembly inside a small tank. (I use a clear Rubbermaid container). Attach a "J tube. (I use two eheim return tubes) to the box and set the whole thing in the tank there the larvae will be hatching. Remove the air from the siphon tubes and start the pump up. You will now have a siphon on the J tubes that's pulling water in from the main tank. Shine a light on the end of the tube and sit back and relax! The larvae will be attracted to the light and get sucked up in the siphon. The permanent coffee filter will keep them safely in the hold. Let it go for a while and you'll have a container full of larvae!
