Where is the table for hatching times

[ineke]

Recently someone posted a time table of egg hatching at different times can anyone point me to it please or maybe just answer my question. I have a berried Michling I know she got berried on the 1/5/13 but she is still hanging on to the eggs. She hasn't dropped and become berried again as I see her every day. I watch her closely because she is my first berried crystal so extra special. I though 30 days was maximum but obviously not. Any one have their females berried this long? Temp in her tank 22/23.

cheers

Maybe she has dropped them and berried up again

[ineke]

No pretty sure she hasn't ive watched her every day and she was always berried plus no babies in the tank. I know she could have dropped the berries and got berried again that night but I haven't seen her not berried. :encouragement:

could have happened whilst you were asleep! Unless you stalk her 24/7 in which case get some help ineke! LOL!

Ineke, I always write down the date as due the same date the next month, so if she was berried on 1/5/13, I write her down as due on 1/6/13.

That way you get a nice surprise when they are born and don't stress so much. Try it?

Problem already solved- I got todays date mixed up when rewriting our calender -thought today was the 2/6

I do write down the date Ninja and do as you do DUH I lost a whole week. I've even told hubby off for not getting his monthly blood test done but that's not due til the 30/5. i hate it when that happens! plus side now Ive got back another week:cheerful:

LOL ineke! I read that first part and thought jeez you were being rather impatient, it's not even been 4 weeks yet... But she still has a few days left... :encouragement:

she should drop soon, fingers crossed for you! Crystal shrimplets are the best :)

I feel such a fool even had to apologise to hubby for giving him grief about his blood test:cower: Thats the trouble when you don't work time just runs into itself and you forget which day of the week it is- first time I lost a whole week though:o

Now I have another week of excitement -each morning when I go into the shrimp room I quickly check out her tank to see if she has had them!!!:encouragement:

[torface]

Yeah i lose track of days sometimes on my time off... I try not to time my shrimps pregnancies for this same reason!

you'll love the crystal babies, I'm so excited for you! I have so many right now, my CBS breed faster than my red cherries!

[ineke]

That's great Torface I can't seem to get my Crystals to breed but then the majority of them I have only had about a month, also the yellows don't seem to do anything. That's why I'm keeping such a close eye on this girl she is my first Crystal/Michling to be berried so really looking forward to first lot of non cherry babies. :encouragement:

[torface]

Maybe it's cos you watch them too much... They don't want to do the dirty while you're looking lol

i have like 25+ babies and maybe 5 more berried CBS girls, it's insane :encouragement:

[ineke]

Well done you! You must be doing something right. I'm sure mine will start eventually all the WP's are good, feeding a good variety of food and definitely males and females so now it's just a waiting game and patience,

[torface]

Yep, well you have one berried girl so it is beginning :)

And thanks, I was doubting that I could even keep CBS alive so to have them so happy that they are breeding so much really pleases me :)

[ineke]

I think my problem is I was interfering too much, moving shrimp around , moving things to clean under etc , I am cycling my last tank now and then the moving will stop. Luckily my crystal tank was done first so they will be left alone.

[ineke]

Thank you very much I knew I had seen a chart somewhere:encouragement:

[ninja]

Does she have any dark coloured eggs?

[ineke]

I haven't seen her today but last night she kindly showed me her belly and they are all light brown although one did look a bit darker than the others I think she has 10 eggs unless they can be double layered. She often doesn't come out until later in the day. Hopefully I will be able to tell later .
