Hey buddy, do you transfer the fry from the meth blue water into untreated water once they hatch? Let me know, thanks.
@SergeantTank

Pipette or turkey baster. Also, I would advise ultizing seasoned aquarium water from the parents ecosystem.

How long do you leave the eggs in the meth blue setup? Do you change the meth blue water during the incubating process?
@SergeantTank
@SergeantTank 4 жыл бұрын
No water changes needed through the incubation phase. Also, the aforementioned method is one of several ways for which one can incubate. This video was from a few years back. The key is to ensure you don't utilize too much meth blue, whereas it'll cause the eggs to calcify and resulting in the embryos to suffocate. My best recommendation is to check out a recent webinar I conducted, talking specifically about this. This live presentation can be found on our Sergeant Tank, LLC. Facebook Business Page. If you Google us, you'll find it.

the mop spawning method only applies to nonannuals. Annuals need to lay the eggs in peat whi ch have to be removed and incubated for months.

Chris Gill as I remove often. I haven't encountered this; however given the opportunity it's possible if the eggs are left in too long.

I just acquired a pair of killifish with an aquarium of fish and one of them has eggs hanging out of her...so I put the two of them in a containment tank within the aquarium so her eggs drop through a slot and end up at the bottom. What I'm wondering is if she has eggs...does that mean they are hatchable?? Or do the females produce eggs and then they need fertilized?

Teresa Travitzky thanks for stopping by! As for the aforementioned; wince these are a species of fish that are "egg depositors" the eggs are therefore externally fertilzed by the male. As for different variations of spawning such as i.e., plant spawners (or use of artificial 100% acrylic spawning mop), soil spawners and impacted soil spawners ( burrowing the eggs in substrate). Each of the mentioned will ultimately depend on the species of killifish and if they are a non-annual, semi-annual or annual killifish. You mentioned that you allowed the eggs to be dropped through a protective barrier at the bottom. It's most likely a case of infertility as they haven't been fertlized by the male. Breeding non-livebearing species is alot different then internal insemination by the male with live-bearers. Alot of us aquarist follow similar methods of breeding with egg layers; however some find success in other ways that work for them. Now keep in mind that based on the classes of killifish listed above are different as for incubation methods. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I didn't even know what type of fish I had until I took a picture to post on a local aquarium site and someone told me. Now I'm trying to learn more about them! This aquarium that was given to me has all kinds of activity going on besides the female killifish having eggs hanging...I've got two pregnant shrimp, a pregnant neon tetra, and snails laying eggs on the glass.

Can i just let the mop in the tank till they hatch with the parents ?
@SergeantTank
@SergeantTank 6 жыл бұрын
With regard to leaving the mop in with them, yes it is possible to have a portion of offspring survive giving the appropriate set-up; however the yield will be much less than if you pull the mop. It's not just a case of parental cannibalism; it also is cannibalism within the offspring themselves. They will hatch at different rates and feeding them is much more challenging. Either way, I always encourage try different methods and see what works best within your setup. Wish you the best in your endeavours! Enjoy!

What if my water ph is 7,1? Will they die? Could you make a video of the killifish eggs you buy from ebay and how to properly raise them to adults? Every video Ive watched they die shortly after they've hatched.
@SergeantTank
@SergeantTank 4 жыл бұрын
Depending upon the specific Killifish you're working with will determine the artificial rearing and raising. As for eBay eggs; I don't purchase eggs. I obtain sub-adults and or adults and breed, then pull eggs and raise. There's non-annual, semi-annual and annual killies; each of which has its own process. If you could be specific to the exact species for which you're attempting to work with, I may beable to offer some further guidance.

Hi, is it worth feeding Spiralina Powder or is that a NO ?.
@SergeantTank

Chris Mccarthy thanks for stopping by. As for the spurilina, if you provide in light moderation along with the live foods mentioned it wouldn't hurt. Always a good idea to balance dietary needs. I find with breeding many species of various fish over the years; once out of embryo state and free swimming- proteins are essential. I would slowly transition to the spurilina after a few weeks of fry development. Hope that helps!

Once the adults are added to the tank how long before they start spawning?
@SergeantTank
@SergeantTank 5 жыл бұрын
These are opportunistic and most often on the right regimen of conditioning; will spawn daily. If these are newly added, I would suggest pulling the mop after 3-4 days.

Nice video. I was curious. I see you put the parameters in the description. The killifish spawn and the eggs hatch out with the high PH and hardness? What triggers them to spawn?
@SergeantTank
@SergeantTank 6 жыл бұрын
Michael Garcia yes they do! The added catappa leaf will help the PH and or use of Peat granules. You can also utilize Rain and or R.O. water; however I've proven them to hatch within the aforementioned. As for spawning behavior do as I mentioned and they'll spawn :) one of the factors I look at; is obtained a pair for which have proven themselves! Thanks so much for stopping by.
