Help
I have a 70g tank with 2 bala sharks, a convict, 2 plecos, 1 large and one small midas, and a salvini. My salvini that i just put in there and my midas have actually paired up and now there are about 100- 150 eggs on the side of a rock in my tank and the midas and salvini have been guarding it. what is going on, i never heard of a salvini and midas mating. i did a lot of searching and apparantly no one else has either, if anyone knows anything about this please let me know.

well, might be time to get yourself a nice little 10 gallon and start it cycling with a foam filter. you're gonna need somewhere to raise the fry before the rest of the tankmates pick them off one by one.

Did the male was able to fertilize the eggs ?
If they went white + fungus (if they did last so long) they were not. I had a salvini-female that mated with a Hemichromis(Jewels-cichlid) sp.-male, and he could not feritilize them. When the species are "too far away from each other" a nature-styled fertilisation won't do it.
