PEACOCK BASS SPAWN

[Bigtex3703]

Bass spawned on Thursday and still no signs of hatching.... water is 82 degrees and added methylene blue to keep fungus out.... halo have a sponge filter and air stone in tank

Are the eggs showing signs of fertilization. If they are all one color this probably means no. Methylene blue could keep them from growing fungus and maybe the female from consuming them?

 

[Bigtex3703]

I removed them from the main and have them in a 10 gallon.... some are darker than others...about half are still white

 

[Woefulrelic]

White eggs are most likely unfertilized. Remove them and dose with methlyene blue in the 10g, put an air stone or comparable oxygen on the fertile eggs or they will mold over.

 

[Bigtex3703]

That's already done

Hope for the best, if they are young or first spawn don't get too worked up.

Do u have a time frame for hatching.... I have heard 3 to 4 days and I have heard 3 weeks to a month
