Onyx Eggs finally! (1 Viewer)

They ate the last batch this last weekend; I though it would be another few week before next batch, but they just lay again triple the size.

Going to cultivate some rotifer this week.

Nice..... Will the rest be hatching tonight?

 

[Midwinter]

I hope so dunno if i should turn off the light..

 

[mwilliams62]

I would say yes and wait for a couple hours and go in with a flashlight to see if any has hatched then turn it back on for them to eat I believe for 24 hrs before covering.

They all hatch, but majority of it die. Parent just lay more egg!! I need to get them their own tank.

All mine died the other day too. When I put the pot into the fry tank it got the water all dirty. So next round will use the fry collector instead of putting the pot into the fry tank.

Mine all die last night. When i got home from work the tank Temp. was 84.8... ='(
