The Skimmer is shut down for now, and we are going to have less oxygen in the tank in the next few days, I put an air pump with an air stone in the tank to also Increase surface area and improve circulation.

Othee laid more eggs, we have about 7 branches at the front and 8-9 branches at the rear each branch has about 80-100 eggs. I came to take pic’s as she was protecting the rear eggs, but as soon as I came close she came down looked at me like she is telling me don’t cross the line my friend or I will kill you just like that crayfish and went back and hugged the eggs let the pic’s do the talking:

I went to seashells and got a crab and talked to my friend there, and got some info and idea's on what i could do, thanks seashells for the sponge filter ,I guess im going to do a water change soon with the eggs inside the tank we will see how we are going to do that because the front eggs are on the edge of the tank, and we don’t want them to stay with out water for not even seconds , , this is the crab I got just to see what she will do with it:

If you ask me today which do you want to keep the eggs or the mom I will tell you the mom because of what im seeing every day and what she is doing as a mom is unbelievable to protect her baby’s.
This is just a small clip but very interesting, here she is trying to raise a live rock and hang it on the glass to hide her eggs from predators.
