30 hours to go! - Aquarium Advice

SerLunchbox · 02-01-2005, 12:16 AM

Well, 30 hours are left and the angels are doing awesome ... fanning the eggs, picking off the unwanted eggs. From about 300 eggs laid i have about 150-200 left. I guess some became fungal or something like that. The bonus is the eggs are still there and the angels are still being the good parents. Lets see how it all goes now. The countdown is on and the updates will be coming!

But not atypical...often the first 2-3 spawns are poor...but as long as you hatch a few, it shows that your pair is good. Are you doing regular water changes, still?

No ... i have been working a lot lately ... Today is the first time i got to do any sort of one. It looks like all the eggs are kaput .... i think ... there may be a few still leftover. The parents are fanning the eggs still so i don't know .... what caused the eggs to go white? I know that it could be fungus ... and i also know that unfertilized eggs turn white after about 3 hours of being laid. Any help for next time would be awesome
