Posting eggs to Singapore & other Countries

Hi all,
I guess by now the eggs should have all hatched - have they done so? If they are sitting eyed you will need to force them and find out if they are ready (should be).
Let me know an update but don't sit with them on the last diapause or they will end up just dying.
best regards

Well nothing yet tried to hatch one last week nothing, this week nothing with another egg.
So far all the egg has eye up but will try one more end of the week.

What i have done is wet the egg in a plastic bottle those that come with Dr's prescription.
Breath into it then shack it leave in my 2FT tank which has a lower temperature (26c to 27c) then the ambiance temp.
With the filter running it create a continues ripple or near the outlet it cause a turbulence, i guest the egg should be on a continues movement.
Waited for 24 hr nothing, put back the egg.Now still wondering whats wrong????

Hell this getting tedious,what next

By the way i have lost one of the eggs it just disappear the next day.
Now there are six just like "ten green bottle standing on the wall".

Any suggestion Laurie

Hi Vincent,
put some water into the pill bottle (up to the start of the neck) get a straw, blow gently through it into the water to fill the water with CO2 and then place the six eggs in it. Breath into the bottle and stick the lid on so there is plenty CO2 and then STICK IT IN YOUR POCKET.
Check it every 20 mins for the first two hours and if no eggs hatch re-dry them and repeat after another week. When the first one hatches look at the belly and if it is big re-dry the other eggs for a further week.
If the belly is ok, leave the others to hatch for two hours in your pocket. If they do not hatch try blowing some more bubble through a straw into them gently, breath into and seal it again - give another few hours in your pocket and see the results.
If there is still no great result wait another few more days before trying again.
Note :- if you have low tds water like RO water that usually gives the best result but get the fry out quickly.
Fingers crossed for a good result - keep me posted!
best regards

Hi Laurie,

Now we have nothing .

As we post i lost 2 of the eggs just melted away, I suspect that the egg was right for hatching .So for the couple of days did some hatching with balance 4 eggs.
The 12th took 2 eggs as per your instruction with the pill bottle.One of the eggs busted with dead fries ,not live fry.The second egg did not hatch so put it back to dry next day it to melted.
Then on the 14th took the balance egg . Also per you instruction first 2 hr still the egg didn't hatch so after 4 hrs put it in the tank for a day. The first egg burst also dead fry. The last egg just left it in the tank still in the pill bottle, but it to burst with dead fry.
So guys hard luck, so who say sjo are easy killies to keep or hatch.
Dam...mm its hard
