Dear Grandma Netty And Grandpa Bronze

Oh noooooo......we posted at the same time and I missed that bit. What a bad Betta :angry: So back to the drawing board now eh. Maybe next time he'll get it right and at least he spawned which is more than he was doing before.
yeah im pleased regardless, time to get the brineshrimp out again :lol: but no food for him for 2 days now.
 
Awwww....he's not being grounded too is he :lol: :lol:
 
AHA!!!! found 2 lonely eggs so stole them, against my belief :blink:
 
LMAO......hypocrite :p

Hope they hatch for you Daz :good:

:hyper: :lol: well i couldnt just let the last 2 be eaten, right how do you hatch them like this? come on you eggs snatchers tell me :lol:
 
an extraordinarily clean tupper ware container with about an inch of tank water. once they are free swimming, around the second day or so let them lose in a shallow tank. NO FOOD WHATSOEVER in the tupper ware, it fouls the water right away and kills them.

the easiest thing I have found to steal a few eggs is a long eye dropper, or as my mom works in a lab a cheap plastic pipette. this is nice as it prevents my fingers from getting bitten.
 
It's amazing the tricks you can come up with. I use an airline and suck them up....hopefully not swallowing them :crazy:
 
when I use airline, unless its very long air line I always manage to get tank water in my mouth. I also worry with delicate eggs about me siphoning badly and get my drool in and contaminating the water.


Oh one more thing some people do. I have heard to use like half a drop of anti fungus meds in the Tupperware container. Ive done it with many spawns and it turned out fine, I forgot with my last spawn and had 3 eggs hatch out of 200, the rest went fuzzy. The key though is just the tiniest amount, or its not good for the fry.
 
That's a good tip Newfishy....never thought of using anti fungus meds. I only had 3 tub hatch successfully this time.

Got visions of you dribbling all over your eggs now :rofl:
