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.
