Carol ... this is a great thread ... thanks! Just one question to add here ....
If/when eggs are fertilized, how long does it take to see some eyes of the developing fry inside the eggs?
Depends on water temperature - 24 hours or so ;D
Awesome! Thanks Carol.
Looks like I've got some babies growing! Crap ... in the community tank too, which I wasn't counting on. This is the pair's first spawn too, which is even more surprising to me. But they're guarding those eggs like crazy which is great to see. They're a great looking pair of Stendker Santarems.
Whatever happens with this batch of their eggs, I'll move this pair out into their own 29g afterwards.
HI... this pic is taken 2 days ago. i wanna take the babies out tml. izzit possible?
sorry.. this is the pic.
Depends on how often you can feed the babies. They are pretty little - can you feed them every 2 hours say 8 - 10 times per day?
okay.. i'll try
Great Thread :) I have finally had my pair of blue snakeskins pair and mate with my first fertilized batch of eggs! ;D The pair is only14 months old.I am a little dissapponted at the hatch rate. I have pretty optimal conditions RO/TAP-GH-3 PH-6.5 TEMP-82,Out of a few hundred eggs only 6 are wigglers,last night i counted 29 fertilized eggs,What happened in 7 hours?

Breakfast ;)
At least you know you have a breeding pair - next time you'll get more.
yup... i agree... i have a question here... my first batch of babies originally contain 29 fishes now left wif only bout 16... will they continue to die?
Are the parents eating them? If not water quality may be the problem. BBS foul the water quickly. Do more water changes and squeeze out the filters in dechlorinated water.
I have alreadie seperated from the parents and the parents had it 2nd batch alr... i nv use filter too and i use dechlorinated water to change the water daily

Hi Shamsoo:
No offense taken. I thought it was a funny comment. I do keep a log and find it helpful :heart1:
Hi Gnome:
I have posted pictures in this section showing my babies at various ages. Look in middle to last part of December and August for pictures of fry. Your sound very small :-\
