Re: walkeri

Back in the late 1960's I had a pair of tank variety walkeri (orange-now).
Could not get an egg.  Put the bare 2 gal glass bottomed tank aside(in a
dark area) with the pair and just tossed in a clump of white worms whenever
I remembered they were there in the dark.  After about 7 or 8 weeks(if I
remember correctly), I thought of them and went to clean the now disgusting
tank.  Bottom was solid eggs.  I put the pair in a clean enviroment and the
eggs in clean tank water and after a few weeks I had a ton of them.  Didn't
know they liked a dry period back then.  Apparently neither did they.  I
didnt leave the eggs  in the tank but they were on the dirty bottom of a
bare tank and I moved them to a more lighted area in cleaner water.  Pleased
with the pair, I started treating them well and never saw another egg.
I always raise gardneri, and puerzli by UG filter in gravel till hatching
time method.  Gives a big hatch all at once.
