Northo Eggs

[mematrix]

Hi All. I have a newbe question. I finally had some luck with my Northobranchius korthause. And I was wondering if there were any pics of norto eggs out there so I can tell if what I siphoned up off bottom of tank were eggs or just trash. I will also be checking my peat this weekend for eggs. I sure would like to now what I am looking for looks like. I am pretty sure they have spawned at least one session in the peat i provided haven't wittnessed any further spawnings yet. Any help much appreciated. Sincerely Curtis Crazy In Texas

Here's a shot of Kwek Leong's egg collection of one of his Notho species.



Do refer to the main website for more images. http://www.killies.com

By the way Curtis, its Nothobranchius, not Northobranchius.

Welcome to the forum, Curtis. I'm glad the "ban" message you received didn't stop you from posting. We have never banned anyone (not as far as I know) so it's probably a software problem.

The best time to look for eggs is when they are just collected. The eggs are still wet so they glisten and are easier to spot. After having been incubated in peat moss for a while, the eggs dry up and develop eyes. It's much harder to find them then because many will take on the colour of the peat.

A better picture would be this one. It shows a Notho egg on my wife's finger.
