after about 2 weeks I have my first eggs from my gardneri killifish and I'm very excited about it. Last night I picked about 8 eggs out of the mop. I will check it again in three days to see if there are anymore :D

Very cool. Since I know very little about killies, what do you do now... do you pull them out and let them dry a bit as if it were the dry season and then hatch them later?

Nice. Gardneri do not have to dry out just place them in a small container with some meth-blue and water and the eggs will develope and hatch.

Kerry is exactly right. Gardneris are a great beginner killifish (that's why I have them hahaha). Eggs are doing great and I even got a couple eggs from my new R. Cryptocallus that I've only had for a few days.

I thought that the Rivs were about ready to start spawning the change of water probably kicked them off congrats.
