[Killietalk] Blue Gularis ,,,, eggs problem.

[luiz rulff <luizrulff at yahoo_com>]

Nick,
 
 I do have the same problem with eggs as you do.
 
 My tap water is very hard too, around 380 ppm and sometimes in winter goes over 600 ppm.
 
 I tried remove a whole bottom mop and leave it in plastic bag ,,,,, was around 40 eggs, no one survived.
 
 I tried leave the pair to spawn on peat ,,,, I removed the peat ,, dried ,, and after 60 days no one hatched, I searched for eggs and no eggs found.
 
 I tried leave the pair spawn over a bottom mop and remove the eggs , put the eggs on sphagnum more the 100 and after 60 days ,,,, 6 hatched.
 
 I tried remove the eggs and put on peat ,,,,, no one hatched.
 
 I tried put the eggs in water, and again no one hatched,,, all goes bad.
 
 And after a year or so ,,, my last batch only 3 hatched.
 
 I really do not know how to set a pair to have a good batch.
 
 If you got some good batch, please let me know.
 
 Best regards,
 Luiz
