Re: methylene blue and Aph. australe

[MDelra at aol_com]

Tyrone, sometimes killie eggs will develop normally when you add a few fibers 
of peat moss to the vessel containing the eggs. I am currently doing this 
with A. ogoense pyrophore RPC 78-18. I believe methyln blue is an oxygen 
carrier, but you may have a problem with keeping the eggs near an aquarium 
light. Is your australe tank under a light, as a flourescent or incandescent? 
Killie eggs are sensative to light. Also, higher than normal temperature can 
have adverse effects on eggs as well. The embryos will not react well to an 
aquarium light, especially, flourescent. Try, even if you dont use the peat 
trick, to keep the eggs in a darker place. Mark Delraso
