25 frys hatch in 30 minutes, i have 70 eggs in a peat moss incubation. this morning i thrown it back in the water, and these are all the frys starts swimming just after i finish breakfast. i think when it comes to hatching killifish eggs with amazing success whether its ANNUAL or NON ANNUAL , peat moss incubation is the best method than anything else period.

at the same time i thrown in some clown killie eggs back in the water this morning with 28 eggs, 8 frys hatch almost the same time as the golden panchax frys. i got a feeling i'll be scooping a lot of frys this weekend.

yes when i first breed these guys, the frys look like tadpoles:grinyes:

you should see the clown killie frys, thats why i can't take a photo shot because they are so small it won't show on the pic.
thier size are only a little bigger than Baby brine shrimp

i never tried water incubation, i always pick the eggs on the spawning mops and dry incubate them with the peat moss, put them away in a ziplock sandwich bag for 9 to 10 days.
