After nearly 80hrs after their final embrace, I'm sorry 2 say there's still no fry :-(
At this point, I'm calling it a failure, even tho he's still guarding & repairing the nest. There are still eggs in the bubbles, but he let the majority of them sink. I think it was partly my fault, cuz 1 nite I sorta 4got about leaving the light on 4 him 2 see any falling eggs. Big oops!! Should I go ahead & pull him now, clean out the spawn tank & start conditioning them again? Or should I give it another couple days? The reason I ask this is cuz my 2yr old son ripped the thermometer sticker off the front of tank, so the water may not be exactly between 82-86 degrees, and I've read that sometimes eggs can take a little longer 2 hatch out in cooler water... Any suggestions?
