Swamp Sunflower Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I've pulled about 30 eggs total. This is nerve-wracking. I think the eggs look like they are developing normally but I would appreciate any insight. This tank runs around 73-74F, pH 6.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Bad eyes so I’ll just tell you how my melini eggs develop. At first they all look the same. In about a day I can see a a distinct white dot Along the outer edge and it slowly looks like a fiber extends from the dot along the outer edge. Just before hatch in a few days I can see some color and with phone zoom and magnifying glass I can see eyes. My infertile ones will become opaque white, possibly fungus or remain entirely clear. Some of my eggs take up to an extra 2 days to hatch. Congratulations 🎉 I love my melini they are adorable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp Sunflower Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Fry update. There are 5-6 fry this size. A decent number of the eggs were infertile (I think I pulled them too soon) or grew fungus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
