Hi  all,  I just received a package of N. Guentheri (aquarium strain)   eggs 
dated collected 1/8/06 as a belated birthday gift.  I have no  idea as  to 
what 
to do with them.  I haven't raised annnuals  since 1975 and have  forgotten 
alot.  I think slighty brackish  water (salt) but is it hard or  soft water 
(ph) ?  
Can I try to  hatch them now?  Please  help.  TIA.  -  Ed  Brandt

Dear Brandt,
 
Your eggs are a bit old and should be put in water now. You might add salt  
to the water after the fry have hatched. A teaspoon per 5 gallons should help  
keep the brine shrimp alive and give you some protection against ICH.
 
Sincerely,
 
Sandy
