RE: Killie Fry
Hi Tyrone,
I sometimes have a traffic management problem here and some eggs need to
wait a while before I can schedule their hatch. I have had GUE and even Fp.
FIL go five months plus. This is not a recommendation as at the extreme
edge of the hatching window hatches do get pretty thin, but I do not get
belly sliders from eggs incubated for too long.
Best regards,
-RJ-

Thanks RJ.
I have some N. orthonotus eggs that are about ready.
I've gotten terrible hatches in the past and with only 3
packets of peat with few eggs I'm overly paranoid. The
peat is about 4 to 5 months old now.
I may wait till they are six months but I don't like
leaving eyed up eggs in the peat too long...
Thanks
