Hello,
This happens some of the times. What you did not say is what the
temperature is. if it is too cool they will take longer to hatch. When my
Fp gardneri Jos plateau do this, I put them in a test tube and walk around
with them in my pocket and they hatch.

Subject: [Killietalk] gestation of F. gardneri
Hi Folks,
This is kind of a beginner question..But I am stumped.
I am presently spawning F gardneri and after the first batch went well..
the subsequent eggs have kind of just reached a point in gestation and
stopped.. They are at the ..what you guys call Eye's Up point but just
won't hatch.. Sometimes I can sit and stare at the eggs and see the
little fishies move..but then nothing..some of the eggs are approaching
28 days.. I thought gestation was 14 to 16 days..is this incorrect???
I am keeping the eggs in small cups and changing the water every other
day with rain water.
Is this normal or is there something going on that i don't understand.
Thanks
Airwreck
