 | How long until they hatch? |
GrimZ  Enthusiast Posts: 233 Kudos: 389 Votes: 20 Registered: 16-Sep-2003   | Hey everyone, I have a breeding pair of FW parrotfish in my 55 gallon tank. They have had many batches of eggs, but none seem to last, because either the other fish eat them, or they eat them because they get spooked when I look at them. Well this time was different, they laid the eggs about 4 days ago. When they first laid them they were a clear color, now they have turned orange, and it looks like they got bigger. I'm pretty exicited, since they never got this far with them before, so I just wanted to know how long it will be until they hatch. Thanks GrimZ |
