Re: [Killietalk] Bottom Sliders

[Mark Pearlscott <mark at pearlscott_com>]

Airwreck,

I agree with Barry's post, but also have to add that Bob Goldstein 
suggests keeping the eggs at moderate temperature for a longer period of 
time... in other words, don't rush the eggs with high temp incubation. 
If I remember right, he gets really good hatches, with low belly slider 
rates.

Also, if all you have is belly sliders, don't worry... breed them just 
as you would buoyant fish, and collect the eggs.  The fry you hatch from 
slider eggs are normally just fine.

Cheers,

Mark
