tooManyPumps Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) I was not cautious about storage, maybe they got too warm. But even so, I'm shocked by the low hatch rate. I'm getting maybe 5% to hatch after 24h in 82F with 1 tbsp of marine aquarium salt per litre. Last time I used the same approach and I saw more like 80% hatching. I repeated my process and measurements twice to be sure. Both batches resulted in very few hatchings despite all parameters being correct.

Guppysnail Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Try letting them run 48 hours. I find any eggs I keep longer than 6 months the hatch rate goes way down even stored in the fridge. I freeze them now if I get more than I will use in 3 months. If storage temp was not monitored this will also dramatically lower hatch rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
