DanHOB how are the babies doing brotha

Slowly but surely, one after the other they started turning white, and although not much info available on arowana eggs, but generally with fish eggs when that happens they are not fertilised.

I was left with 10 by yesterday, but by this morning all had turned.

Think this is going to be a very long process, each time I’m learning more of what to do and what not to do.

Hopefully will have a UK batch of fry at some point in the future.

Thanks everyone!

WE HAVE EGGS AGAIN!
Hi everyone, must have happened late yesterday or early today but my male has a lovely mouthful of eggs. We are leaving him alone this time and let nature take its course, first mating he swallows them on day 6, hoping 3rd time lucky!

Outstanding!

Yeah, I'd advise you to leave the eggs with the dad. Thats what a good friend of me does and he already had multiple Crossback batches and grew them all out. He lets the parents do their job and only takes the small ones out into their own tank when they are fully developed and ready to feed.

He's from Switzerland, and as far as I know, so far the only person that has successfully had multiple batches from his Crossback pair (father is a 24k, mother a Bluebase).

Good to know that there are successful spawnings out there besides on the breeding farms.

Thanks for the info, not heard of anyone successfully doing this outside of Asia until your reply, gives me hope that we can do it. Both mine are full golden cross backs, real beauties. I’ll keep this post updated.
