So i will update this post as it develops. With any luck i might have some pics of wrigglers soon :)
 
I just read it can take up to 10 days for eggs to hatch is this true? it seems like a long time for hatching.
 
Just came back from camping to find the spawnig stone eggless. At first i thought theyd eaten em all but inbetween a load of boulders is a mass off wigglers. I need to get my ass into gear and hatch some brine for the next stage.
 
wigglers have grown quite a lot. There is hardly any yolk sack left so i expect them to be free swimming either tomorrow or wednesday :) and some other good news i got back from work to find my angel pair had spawned :) I havent got much hope for the youngsters (if they hatch) as they are in a tank with 5 GT juvies.
 
Fry have been free swimming for around 2 days now and the parents are exellent, i cant fault them at all. They are constantly herding the fry into one corner of the tank and keeping em all bunched up. I have maily been feeding hikari first bites due to continuous failed BBS cultivations. I posted a question about this problem on a different site, if you wanna see the question its here http://www.angelfish.net/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=16810. the reason i posted on this site, is because i also have a batch of angel wrigglers which will be free swimming very soon. Also, i was thinking i have some video off my blackberry of my sevs and fry and angels and fry, what programmes can i use to upload the video's for others to see?
