evilknieval69 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I was just reading an article on aquarticles, about spawning annual killies and it said that once you take the peat out (after spawning) that you should rinse it under chlorinated water After a week to ten days, remove the peat container and dump the contents into a large fine fish net. Also siphon any peat from the bottom into the same net. When collecting the peat, you should do a water change (about 50%) and then replace the container, filled with new peat. Rinse the peat-laden net under chlorinated tap water (chlorine is a super fungicide), wring as much water as you can from the net, dump onto a newspaper and pour it into a plastic fish bag Anyone heard of doing that before? sounds dodgy to me...... http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/bre ... wning.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 cant see me doing that as peat spawners normally live in less than clean conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have bred thousands of peat spawners and never done that yet. The thing most people forget is that only a % of eggs hatch and more will hatch next time and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
