[Killietalk] Eggs in peatmoss

[Jeffcanbefound at aol_com]

First I'd like to say that I enjoy reading the e-mails that I get from this  
list. I am having a problem. I bid on eggs on Aquabid.com, and I have been  
having a problem with hatching eggs that are sent to me in peat. It seems that I 
 see a few eggs, not anywhere near the 30 or 50 that the seller claims to be 
in  there. And I put the peat in a few inches of water, and in a few days 
nothing  happens. Then I re-bag the peat, wait a month and put the peat back in 
water,  and then look in the water, and move the peat around, and I don't find 
any eggs.  I have bought from different sellers and the same thing happens to  
me every time. I'm starting to think that I am doing something wrong, cause  
I'm definitely not going something right (LOL)  The sellers are from  over 
seas, and I was thinking that maybe the packages getting X-rayed might be  killing 
the eggs. The eggs I was buying were Rachovii Beira 98. Does anyone have  any 
experience with this species? Are their eggs rather sensitive? Does anyone  
on this list know where I can get these eggs inside the USA? Thanks, Jeff
