my poond fish have recently spawned and i wanted to grow some from eggs, after a week in an indoor tank at about 19 d3egrees, some of the unfertilised eggs have gone fluffy, but there are still no hatched eggs! are there any ways of speeding up the hatching proess at all.

Any help would be appreciated
 
When you say pond fish I am guessing that your talking about goldfish or comets. So here goes.

With the eggs that have grown fungus you will have to remove them as they will continate the whole lot. Do you have filteration or at least an air stone in the tank to keep the water circulating around the eggs? This will help limit the eggs going off and fungus developing. Water temp also plays a major part in how long it takes for eggs to hatch. Goldfish eggs should be in water temp around 21degrees cel. the eggs should hatch in any where from 4-14 days. 4 if the tank is 21degrees cel and 14 if kept cooler.

ok, i will try, there it a plentiful supply of airating weed and biological filtration but getting the rotten eggs out may be a problem as they are stuck onto blanket weed. hey are goldfish
 
The plants wont do anything to stop fungus growing, you need an air stone to agitate the water and to stop the fungus being able to attach itself to the eggs :)

ok will do
 
aah finally, the first one has hatched, transferred him to a holding tank at 21 degrees with plenty of algae for him to eat.
 
Good luck with the fry, they will also eat daphinia and you can feed them liquid fry food (as long as you have a filter on the baby tank) as well as finely crushed flakes. Hope they all grow big and strong for you.

thanks mate, will enjoy them and care fore them!
 
okkkkk, now a father to 8 and climbing, will move them inside tomorrow but the fry are around 2mm. about what size would it be safe to move them without crushing them against the net. they have no scales yet as most of them were born today or yesterday

thanks will be given for any help
