17 Days Post Spawn (7/5/14) - The First Hatch
Whilst it has been a bit of a frustrating evening, there is some good news.
I am struggling with my DIY egg tumbler and will definitely look for a better/different solution next time - there is a range of tumblers designed for freshwater mouthbrooders which I will be having a look at. I will explain in another post what the problems have been but some pictures first..
I found this little guy trapped in the top filter foam
He seems to be OK but time will tell - this is him in the tumbler (excuse the quality but it's not easy shooting through the side of a Coke bottle)
And the remaining eggs (approximately 16)
Cheers
