Day 4: Looks like it's getting close.

Unfortunately, my rotifers were coming from Florida and won't even ship until Monday. If they hatch before Tuesday night, I'll have to lose them.

What are you on, day 4? Not yet.... Once the eggs turn silver, you'll need to pull them. They'll hatch that night.

 

Not to be a buzz kill. However, you may want to let this clutch go. It'll prolly take you a month to get productive rotifer cultures up and running.

I was worried that might be the case. You are probably right.

 

I was hoping I'd get the cultures today, but hurricane Mathew put the kibosh on that. We'll see how it works out; I might have to treat this as a dry run. At a minimum, I'll keep updating this thread until they hatch.

Dad won't leave them (day or night). Even when he eats, it's just a quick bite then right back to them. It's funny how that's so strongly programmed into them. Especially since he has likely never witnessed this behavior before.

Following along - I'm looking forward to the next spawn when you have the rotifers ready to go!

 

I've had mine spawn a few times but I always just figured it was free fish food :wacko:
