Those eggs in DI will probably not fully developed yet
as they are the "saftey blanket" so to speak for the
species. You can rewet indefinately depending on
species. Some eggs can take 3yrs before they are ready.
Most of the Guentheri group (gunether, foerschi,
palmqvisti etc...) will not last past 6 months let alone
1.5 years.
I add salt with every water cahnge along with a buffer
(I use a mix of Bicarb and CaCO3). It is NB not to shock
the fry osmoticly or they can pic up problems.
