Re: [Killietalk] Austrolebias sliders
I think one reason for belly sliders is the absence of enough peat. For some
reason, when I receive eggs in a minimum amount of peat or in coir, I get
better results if I add about 1.3 of a presoaked peat pellet. Why? I don't know.
I do know that adding peat or peat extract to water incubated eggs also helps
reduce belly sliders. I also find that Austrolebias, in my experience seem to
mature in 6-8 weeks instead of 12 weeks as reported.
