I recently bought some killifish eggs, Nothobranchius Eggersi RUHOI Red Form, over the mail and I feel like I just got a bag of dirt. I put in the water because it was in its six week of dry period, and nothing hatched. Ive tried to look for these eggs but I cant seem to find any. Can anyone tell me what they look like or a good way to isolate them? how small are they?
thanks
 
I ordered some on Aquabid recently. I'm no expert, but from what I've read so far, the eggs are about 1-2mm and kind of a yellowish translucent color. I think that you're supposed to look at the egg, and basically when it starts looking back (when you can see a golden eye circle in the egg) that's when you add them to the water. The triggers I've been told are fresh water and lots of food. I'm going to be posting my progress on my website blog http://www.theaquaphile.com/blog.php so I'll try my best to keep it updated. I'm still waiting on them to come in, but this seller has good feedback, so I'm looking forward to good results. My package is supposed to come with an instruction sheet, brine shrimp eggs, and a hatching tool in addition to 100 eggs.


I am hopeful, and I hope you have luck, too! Let me know if anything changes!
