Aquarium News

Well, I checked the aquarium and it looks as if the killifish have laid another batch of eggs. I decided not to take any chances this time that the female might eat them and purchased a Penn-Plax Aqua-Nursery from Fish Tails in Rainbow City.



I fully rinsed the "nursery" and placed it in the tank. I then took some of the hornwort and placed some of it in the "maternity" section of the nursery. I used some aquarium scissors to cut off the portion of the amazon sword leaf where the egg batch was visible. I then used a toothpick to scrape the batch off into the nursery. The batch was surprisingly "gellish." I thought that killifish eggs would be more like eggs... Well, I'll find out in 12-21 days (according to the American Killifish Association, that is how long killifish eggs incubate.)



I've also almost finished creating my *home-made* CO2 injector. Just a quick note: I did purchase some of the equipment and will note those parts in a separate post, when I show the injector (if it works!) later.
