The hatching conditions for eggs can be calculated at a rate of 250°C/day. So, if you multiply the water temperature (°F) by the number of days (days), it equals 450°F. Therefore, if the water temperature is 77°F, it would take about 5.8 days to reach 450°F. Hence, you can estimate it to be around 6 days.

When fry are born, they are extremely tiny, and if raised together, they may end up being preyed upon by their own parents. Therefore, it’s essential to separate them and rear them individually.

Newly born fry can survive on their own nutrients for about 2-3 days, so feeding them after that period is acceptable.

It’s recommended to provide very finely ground feed frequently.
