I just noticed that I have about 50-100 eggs on the side of my glass from my trio of C. Aeneus. What should I do now to ensure that they hatch?

Either remove the fish or the eggs. If you remove the eggs use a single edge razor blade or a clump of Java Moss for the eggs to adhere to. If you hatch out in a small tank or container I have always found it beneficial to add some crushed coral to keep the pH from crashing. Use an air stone or small sponge filter. If the eggs are fertile it will take about four days for them to hatch. Once the eggs have hatched it will take another three to four days for the yolk sack to dissolve. Do not feed until completely dissolved or you will foul the water. Baby brine shrimp is a good first food. You will see their stomachs turn orange and know that they are eating. Good luck. I hope this information is of some assistance.
