Title: Platinum Pearlscale From Liz - Spawned and Pulled
Post by: wsantia1 on July 08, 2015, 06:38:45 PM
I decided to pull these since the parents will not raise. My LFS asked me if I had any and I told them I could make some. lol. Looks like a huge spawn. It would have been gone once I left the room so I put this little setup together. Had to run out to the drug store to get some HP in a hurry. lol  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Liz. They are prolific spawners so I might as well see what they put out, especially since I have an outlet. ;D ;D ;D

I have a Blue Marble pair that are the same way.  They lay a ton of eggs, but turn your back and they're gone.

I either pulled this spawn too quickly or the male did not do his job. Anyway at 95% white eggs, it's back to the drawing board. ???

There were about 50% white eggs yesterday so I thought there was still a chance that half of them were viable. ::)

Thanks. At least I now have a 2.5 g  in place for the next time. There will be less scrambling around to set something up. 8)

...if you can, let the eggs gel about 1/2 hr after they're done too, before tanking them.....that'll help a bit too....

Yes. I probably pulled them too fast.  The good thing is that they will spawn again in about a week. ;D
