Re: [Killietalk] Eggs on Peat

["Bill Shenefelt" <billshenefelt at hotmail_com>]

I packed some various Aphyosemion and Epiplatys eggs on peat to slow down 
development long enough to get into Argentina (takes 3 weeks minimum no 
matter how you send stuff there.)  Juan got the eggs and they took several 
additional weeks to an additional month to hatch.  Includeed. Epi dageti, A 
australe, A cauvetti, and a few others. Been a few years so I don't remember 
what all species were in there, but they seemed to show no developemnt until 
puut back into water.  Just layed there. I had some gardneri P62(?) eggs I 
got from Bro Paul that were stored on a fiber like material.  They sat for 
about 8 weeks in water before any hatched.  Not sure, but I think that most 
Aphy, Epi and some Fp eggs just don't like it dry.
