I'd say get a thermometer in that and see for sure where you are at. I'd bet the fluctuations in temp are your problem. How are you aerating the eggs, can you still clearly see the larvae inside, are the eggs turning white at all?

 

[quickreefer]

I have two rigid air lines going to them ... and ya I don't really see any milky white eggs like people say they look exactly the same as before

 

[quickreefer]

My buddy is also rasing and I have his exact set up

 

[quickreefer]

On second examination their was one baby that hatched and is swimming around which gives me hope that the majority will hatch tn

 

[stevers]

Nice! Stay positive!

 

[quickreefer]

Today is day 13 for the eggs and five have hatched but the eggs still look normal so maybe tn for the rest of them got to be about 200 left

Couple good shots of the male guarding his pot

congrats on the hatchlings! hopefully you'll see a lot more hatch tomorrow!

 

[quickreefer]

Thank yiu very much me too raising just three doesn't seem worth the time you need to dedicate to them

 

[stevers]

It's such an early batch. With the temperature being low. You will have much more success in the future!

 

[quickreefer]

Ya I guess that's true I guess the 7-10, will, be a good tester for the next batch.... here's a good pic of the rotifers I gey straining 4 liters of water

 

[quickreefer]

So the real number is 5 that I got which is really disappointing but hey it was my first attempt and pulled the pot early so it was a learning experience for sure

 

[quickreefer]

Just laid another batch so around 300 eggs and thats conservative. Very excited for this batch I know I can get better results this time

 

[quickreefer]

Started laying around four pm I was pretty shocked I missed the first two lays but this morning I and a buddy of mine who breeds clowns were looking at her and she looked huge and her ovipositor was out so I knew today was the day. Unfortunately I looked over at like 430 and their were already 100 eggs laid. Got a very good video of the eggs being laid

Nice. Excited to check em out when theyre hatched. My clowns have been really funny lately would be cool if they lay but im not ready to handle any hatching

 

[quickreefer]

Thanks alot... I'm going to try to get some good shots of the three larval I have

 

[quickreefer]

So hard to get shots of the larval
