Don't worry, your eggs are definitely fertilised. You'll probably find that many of the eggs will not be fertilised. The problem you've got is when the fry eventually get through the yoke sack, you will have to start reading them. You can't do is feed them on normal food, try and get some baby brine shrimp, sometimes the shop sells them. I don't think you've got time to start breeding them because I doubt you've got the equipment


I have a pack of Hikari First Bites fry food, and I do have a brine hatchery here.

So far I only have one wiggler that the parents haven't eaten, and they have eaten alot of the eggs now. Maybe the next time around I will remove the eggs.

I sent you some of the pictures you requested. Let me know if you get them. If they don't go through, I can put them on my webserver so you can download them.

Well, the parents ate just about everything. I did manage to save the one wiggler pictured in the above post. Here is a pic at 3 days old. The yolk sack is getting smaller, and it is trying to get off the bottom from time to time. Also, when I look close at it, you can see the mouth open and close from time to time.

Fingers crossed, don't hold your breath though. I would be very very surprised if this one fry does survive. At least you know you've got a breeding pair which you can work on.

So far it's still alive. It is swimming quite a bit on the bottom of the tank. Not really leaving the bottom, but very active. We'll see how long he lasts

So if this one fry makes it, or for other sets that come in the future, how long after hatching do they start to look like little oscars?
