Well, I might be gettingv a Cape Lopez Lyretail pair soon. So I was wondering- can you keep the eggs in such a way so you can post them? Only they do produce a lot of eggs, and I'm sure some ebayers wouldn't mind some killie eggs. I know you can dry out peat spawners eggs, but what about mop spawners?

Here's a link to the American Killifish Association site:

I've posted Killifish eggs in the past, the way to do it is to get hold of some specimin vials ( the kinda one's you get from the doctors ) maybe you might be able to get them from the chemist shop. Get yourself 3 pieces of polystyrene the same thickness as your vial. place your vial on one piece of poly and draw around using a felt tip pen or similar then cut out the shape. This will be where you place the vial with the eggs, then the other two pieces of poly form a sandwich above and below. Sellotape them alltogether and place in a plastic fish bag and then place the whole lot in a padded postage envelope.
Don't forget to include the species name and the date the eggs were collected and the expected hatching date in your correspondance. |
