wriggler eaters

[limige]

so my female turk that has raised a few batches of fry seems to be eating the fertile eggs. last time she had 20 or so wrigglers and she ate them the day they should have started swimming....

what gives? any ideas?

I don't know. JimmyL has suggested you treat for worms, flagellates, flukes . . .

hmm, yeah that's kinda what i was starting to think, once my rack is done i think i'll go through and start treating them... run them through a prazi treatment, pp dip, and salt treatments.

I agree with keeping the light on while still wigglers! Maybe taking the female out and leaving them strictly with the male will work? I've seen people be successful with that as well.

jimmy, thanks but i do keep the light on once eggs are down, also already tried formalin..
