Re: [Killietalk] peat incubation
Hi,
I know that there are advantages to peat incubation. I would just like to say that I too was having troubles getting certain different killifish eggs to hatch. Then Acriflavine came into my life. Since then it has certainly been a breeze. I will swear by the stuff. I get 90% hatches almost everytime now. That stuff is amazing. All I am saying is if it can be incubated in water and you want a succesfull hatch use the stuff, it works wonders.
Later,
