Kribensis Eggs

[hensonc4098]

Hi guys

Noticed that my female had suddenly lost her "just swallowed a marble" look this afternoon. I shone a torch into their cave and, lo-and-behold, eggs!
We've had fry before, but we weren't expecting them - they just appeared one day How long do the eggs take to hatch?
Thanks

Claire

Congrats!!!!!!!! TAKE PICS! They eggs, depending on tank temp should hatch in 3-4 days. Then they will be wrigglers for about 4 days( depends on tank temp). Then they will start swimming.

Tank temperature is between 27-28oC

And I will try to take some pics tonight to post (maybe ) tomorrow

That explains why they were so frantic to dig in that cave.

Yeh! Even after they dug out another one underneath a piece of slate they still laid in the one I'd made

Picys - they aren't very good - holding a torch and trying to take a photo whilst pointing the torch in the right direction and trying to get the camera to focus was kinda tricky

Thanks!
