Re: [Killietalk] Austrolebias sliders

["Roberto Cazzulani" <roberto_cazzulani at tin.it>]

Well I think it's enough.
But let's explore other possibilities. How is stored the peat?
The bags it's tightly closed? (ie with few air) How is peat wetness?.
Ok this is what I used for: Peat it's simply placed in a Styrofoam box
that's placed high in the shelf without any kind of temp. control.
The bags are tightly closed with few air.
The peat is squeezed until stop to drip, checked and stored.

Eggs eyed up. I consider eggs eyed up when clearly see the embryo eye
and it's spiny back the rest of the egg is clear (ie there's only the
embryo inside and not much else).

The oxygen tablet? is added? I feel more comfortable with oxygen than without.
Every time I run out of oxygen the number of belly increase (not much
but increase).

Hope this help

Roberto
