After that it says to feed 1 day old brine shrimp as they are tiny, though these are hard to get apparently so it said to hard boil an egg. Take out the yoke and put it in some water and turn it to a liquid. Then add drops of this. Do this for a week or so I think it said and then onto solids. So I guess fry crumb. elmoputney and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmcee Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Well been out and got a small tank so I can see better. They were in the bucket i collected them in with an air stone in from my pond. I've noticed a few black dots appearing in a couple of the eggs to which i assume are the eyes. I'll try and remember to take some pics. crusian, finchey, Its-grim-up-north and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmcee Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Well I've taken a couple of pics. The first shows what I can only guess are non fertilised eggs. Still white and with what seems to be a jelly forming around them. This next pic though is showing what looks to be embryos and the eggs obviously clear. You can just make out black dots/ lines in the egg. Looking good I feel. Certainly a lot more infertile than fertile. These eggs were collected on friday. crusian, finchey, yonny and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well some have now hatched. I've seen 5 or 6 individual ones now. Just got to keep them alive now. I've got stage 1 fry food being delivered tomorrow touch wood and stage 2 being delivered next week. Let's hope I need to use it. dayvid, elmoputney, yonny and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well just got home from a rather uneventful 2 night session. One bloke was on the fish and had 6 fish, I had a stockie and the rest blanked. Now when I left there were half a dozen fry visible and on looking in the tank today, well there are loads. Roughly 50 or more I'd say. I ordered brine shrimp which has now arrived so I've got the correct food for the fish. Just need to keep an eye on the water quality now . I've some bacteria balls in to help eat the waste. Fingers crossed all stays good. I just hope they are actually carp fry haha yonny and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
