Title: Talapia Zilli spawn
Post by: Jaws22 on February 04, 2013, 10:47:48 AM

I have a pair of T. Zilli, they have spawned about 36 hours ago. I want to incubate the eggs in a jar with an air stone. How long should I wait to remove the rock the eggs are on?

If the parents are not aggressive and eggs will last I would wait till they hatch and then vaccume them out in a day or so. Or you could just move the eggs to an area not to get eaten/protected or put the whole egg/item the laid on in a 2 1/2 with air stone. If you see any fungus add a few drops of Methanyl Blue
