Sterbi Eggs finally!
- Thread starter My Fishy1
- Start date
My sterbai started hatching this morning. I am very suprised that it took 5 days for them to hatch. So far 3 hatched! I am sure the others will be hatching soon. I am going to try feeding them baby brine in a few days. Has anyone ever feed sterbai baby brine? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks for the positive feedback I will try to post pic's when they are a little bigger.
You can try BBS but I have heard from others that they may be too big for them at first. Not sure on that as I am just now trying to hatch out my first batch of albino aeneus. I raised 2 from a previous batch but I found them in my tank when they were a few days old and moved them to a grow out tank. I fed them the sinking shrimp pellets and they grew fast. They are in my 55 now and loving it!
How are the fry doing?
The 5-day hatching rate is not unusual, mine usually hatch in 4 at a temp of 80-82. Lower temps....eggs will take a bit longer to hatch.

Here is 2 of my Sterbai babies. One is a new hatchling and the other is a 3 week old baby. see the size difference!! The are so tiny when they hatch and do seem to take ages to grow!! I feed min crushed flakes, micro wafers (which they love!) and Prawn balls. I just leave mine alone to grow as it can be like watching paint dry!!
Congrats. Sterbi's are one of my husbands all time favs. We've had one heck of time getting them around here. I can't wait to see pics and am so excited for you.
Happy Dance For Sure!!!!
