Hiding eggs?

It has been 13 days since these eggs were laid. From my understanding removing the bad eggs from the dish is not necessary. I have been concerned about that all along, but things still seem to be o.k. up to this point.

ok, I'm glad u don't have to remove eggs. They were all laid on differnt days, so maybe progress will different. Good to know. Best of luck, and the best. Thanks for update on babies

Congratulations on your first eggs. I can't tell from the photos, but it is best to keep the water in the petri dish nearly as high as the eggs (but not over the eggs). If you get a run of clutches that have bad eggs, you can add a drop of methylene blue into the water and this will help with mold issues.

Good luck with them! Richard.

Thanks Richard, and for the information.

Hi David,

Once they get going, Cobalts can lay LOTS of eggs. I like to really pay attention to feeding and supplimentation of my tincs when they are laying heavily. I feed my breeders every other day and suppliment with the Repashy Calcium plus ICB (it seems to work better at supplimenting Vitamin A than most of the other suppliments, which is critical to keeping the female laying healthy eggs). I also use the Superpig color enhancer with each feeding, as it really brings out the yellows and oranges in Cobalts and other tincs.

Taker care, Richard.

Hey Richard, where do you get the Superpig color enhancer? And why is that it's name?

[Woodsman]

Hi Cheri,

The Superpig is a Repashy product. I order it through Josh's Frogs. I think the name is short for "Super Pigment" as it is a color enhancer. Highly recommended!

Take care, Richard.

This morning when I was checking on things, I found him floating on his back. I gave him a nudge and he swam down, but floated back up. I could see an air bubble in his belly, so staying on the bottom seems impossible. During one of my attempts to push him down he got vertical with the tail down......and out came a little bubble from his mouth. As soon as that happened he went straight for food.



So I guess 'burping' is needed occasionally.

Guess he's a little piggy, guna have2 keep an eye out. U saved him, that's awsome. Watch that'll be the one that shows u love later.

Still alive and kickin' at 7 weeks. She had four other clutches of eggs. Some clutches had problems. The last one all 5 doing good.
Since this tadpole is my very first..........hope it makes it all the way.
