Re: Hatching Nothobranchius and etc.

The air within the vial be compressed. This does cause an increase in gas absorption by the water in the vial and to the eggs.

Same thing that happens to divers, if you accend and the pressure exerted on your body decreases the gas is released. The oxygen ~21%, is used by your body and the nitrogen ~78%, which your body can't use, is released through your lungs. If you come up too fast, it's like opening a bottle of soda, bubbles form as the pressure is removed.

I don't think so. Gases are compressible but water is not. If there are no
gases in the eggs to be compressed, then the (water-based) eggs won't be
under pressure.
