Killifish Eggs

Of a few different species(the smallest and Most colourfull)

 

if you hatch those eggs you are the man

 

Not too difficult if you follow the basic rules.

Peat moss is the most common medium used to
incubate killifish eggs. The incubation time varies
with different species but it should be quite safe to
assume that eggs of the Nothobranchius will
hatch in 6 to 8 weeks when kept at 29 degrees
Centigrade.
The peat should always be stored in a dark and
cool place. A foam box is best because it will
keep the temperature constant. Eyed-up eggs are
a sure indication that the eggs are fully
developed.
When you are ready to hatch the eggs, do not separate them from the peat when you wet them. The
eggs won't hatch without the peat.
When "eyes" appear in the eggs, it would mean it's
"Hatching time". But even if you cannot spot the eyes,
it's okay to wet the peat if you think the eggs are fully​

developed.

Plus a few more rules.

 

Sounds very interesting. never knew killifish worked like this

 

Try speak to Tyrone Genade. He breeds many types of killies. He sells the eggs. I have bought from him before. Just PM him on this forum.

 

Er, Tyrone is no longer on this forum I believe?

You can get hold of him through another forum though!!

PM me if you want the details?

I know he has a bunch of live fish he is selling at the moment, but I'm not sure he has any eggs though?? All you can do is ask!!

Cheers
Big G!
