October 4, 200917 yr comment_333335 just had my first Guentheri fry hatch today. It was 1 of 20 that are being water incubated and all but one egg has eyes in it. I removed them from peat just under 3 months ago. Report
October 4, 200917 yr comment_333366 good one Ryan Im supprised that they took 3 months though. Mine took 6 weeks? What temp? Report
October 4, 200917 yr comment_333373 I wonder why they took so much longer... or why mine took so little time The water you incubated them in, was that water from the parents tank or from a different source? Report
October 4, 200917 yr Author comment_333403 just water from my water purifier. It was a very small volume of water; one section of my tackle box which is around 25 ml. Very weak meth-blue and they got a water change maybe once or twice. They also didn't have much peat in there with them, just what was stuck to the eggs. Report
October 4, 200917 yr comment_333443 when I water incubated them, I used tank water from another unrelated tank in a small container with the same amount of meth blue that I use with egg normally and like you, only the peat that came with the eggs Interesting Report
October 4, 200917 yr comment_333447 The storing temperature (incubation) for the eggs also have influence on the hatching time. Report
October 4, 200917 yr Author comment_333459 did you have salt in the water Barrie? not that it would make to much difference. Report
October 4, 200917 yr comment_333464 only a very small amount EJ, we keep our tanks at a similar temp so that shouldnt be too much of a problem. Have you water incubated at all? Report
October 4, 200917 yr comment_333484 No, I have never water incubated, I always dried the peat and stored it in the fish room in temperatur 25C Report
