Aphyosemion striatum 25+ Develop Aphyosemion striatum 25+ Developing Eggs
Offered here are 25+ developing eggs of this striking aquarium strain of Aphyosemion striatum.� These little beauties produce about a dozen eggs a day and a pair live happily in a filtered one gallon tank of their own.� The adults take flake, freeze dried and live foods and have a lot of personality for a smaller fish.� These fish are living in moderately soft Paducah city water with a pH of 7.2 and are not very fussy about water parameters.� Incubation time is 14 days +/- a day or two.� Pictured here is the male half of the pair these eggs are from.�
�
I've had no problems at all with fungus on the eggs and incubate them in a shallow petri dish with a touch of methylene blue.� The literature says to keep the eggs out of the light but aside from keeping them out of direct sunlight I've had no problem incubating them on a shelf in the fish room.� The fry are medium small and I start them on my small fry mix of fine ground Spirulina / APR (Artificial Plankton and Rotifers) / 5-50 micron Golden pearls.� I'll include a packet of this starter food with your eggs.
After a couple days they can take microworms and BBS and you are home free.� As with all small fry, water quality is extremely important so be careful not to overfeed and foul the container.� A couple ramshorn snails in the fry container - I use the sandwich size container - will help clean up any excess food.
The eggs with extras ship in water with a touch of meth. blue in a heat sealed poly bag.� You will be able to see the developing eggs and won't have to try to separate the fry from peat when they hatch.� Just empty your eggs into the hatching container and keep an eye on them, removing any that fungus.� I'll also include a half dozen of my 7ml plastic pipettes for help with feeding and transferring fry - snip the tip wider to move fry.�
Priority Mail shipping to the continental US only is $8.00 and we can coordinate shipping to avoid really bad patches weather-wise.�
Please wait for my invoice at the close of this auction to make payment.� Given the short incubation time of these eggs, payment should be made within 24 hours of auction close.� I will ship to your PayPal shipping address so make sure it is current.
Thanks for considering my auction!
