Thought I’d share some photos from my Rainbow Shiners breeding activity, how I collect eggs, and set up a hatching container.
First, I notice they’re spawning over the target zone…
I next look to see if eggs are caught in the rocks before pulling…
Now, I pull the container…
Carefully pull out stones…
And look over eggs, remove detritus, snails, etc…
Then add to prepared specimen container with airstone, put in just a few drops of Methylene Blue, and cover to keep dark…
Now it’s a waiting game. Once I get Wigglers, I move them over to a prepped “Java Box”…
All in one stand…
Thank you!
Are the ones from this months auction your fish? What temp do you keep them at?
