On one of the Facebook pages someone mentioned using “forced hatching” methods of the killifish crowd. I thought I might elaborate upon that a bit further for those of you that are unfamiliar with the methods. Since they didn’t say which method or methods were used I’ll go over 4 methods that have worked for me and more importantly worked when I’ve had stubborn rainbowfish eggs, especially the Pseudomugils. I really didn’t look to see if anyone has been able to explain this scientifically, I’ve seen carbon dioxide, pH, osmotic pressure, feeding stimulation etc. all used as a reason for why the various methods work. I would suggest to you that you might practice on some of your own eggs before you get something precious that you just have to hatch.
1) Micro-worms - Don’t ask me how it works, I followed what was set down by others and it worked for my killifish, and later for my rainbowfish eggs, especially the Pseudomugils. Place the eggs in a very shallow container, and cover the eggs with about 1/2 cm of water, dechlorinated of course, tank water is fine for this. Then remove a small amount of micro-worms from a very healthy culture. Wipe them off the sides of the culture, don’t bring any of that baby food junk etc. into the hatching tray. It really doesn’t take many worms, maybe 10 or so per egg. Is it feeding response, digestion of the egg sac, I don’t know, but it does work for a certain percentage of the eggs, if they were really ready to hatch. After 5-6 hours though I’d remove any extra worms and change the water in the hatching tray. You can wait another day or move on to the next forced hatched method.
2) Carbon dioxide or just a lower pH, I’m not sure what does it but get a piece of airline tubing and start blowing bubbles into your tray of eggs. If you want to check on exactly how long it will take your water to change pH take a like amount of water, and add a few drops bromothymol blue (your basic pH indicator that you buy at the pet store) to a few drops of the water that you’ve started saturating with CO2. It should be a nice blue or aquar marine color or darker when you start. Depending on the hardness of your water (KH) it could take less than a minute to several minutes. If you’re over 400 ppm GH, probably with a KH to match you’re not going to get anywhere fast. If your water is that hard though that’s probably the reason your eggs aren’t hatching (cyanodorsalis excluded, of course). Then go back and do a little heavy breathing into your batch of eggs. It that doesn’t pop them in an hour change the water and try another method.
3) Jiggles - put your eggs in a vial and take them to work, to the grocery etc. Only fill the vial about 1/2 way so that there will be air in the vial in case some fry hatch and you have a ways to go before you get home. Don’t try this while jogging.
4) Pressure - glass vials are better for this. Fill the vial with your eggs and water. You want to make sure that the vial will sink. Drop it into your 55, 110, 200 gallon tank, whatever is deeper. The lid is on loosely so that the pressure increase will transfer to the eggs. I didn’t use this technique very often so I’m not as familiar with it. I’ve had eggs hatch in a couple of hours using this method. I’ve also ended up with fry that have had twisted backs from this method. Was it the method that twisted their backs or was it because they spent too darn much time in the shell and now have problems, I don’t know. I try to use this as a method of last resort.
If all else fails then you probably need to incubate them a bit longer. Also make sure to read the thread: “Hatching Pseudomugil Eggs – Revised Thinking Equals Success” also on this forum. That article I think if you follow it closely you won't have to be worrying as much about forcing Pseudomugil eggs.

So this probably only works for cyanodorsalis but it works REALLY WELL. Take all the eggs that are stubborn and stick them in a small container 2/3 full of the salty tank water. Fill it to the top with fresh water and walk away for five to ten minutes. When you come back they will have all hatched. It works great with these salty little guys. I will take a video of it next time I do it and put it up here.

Method 5, as a killifish guy. Put the eggs into a pill container, exhale in and cap quickly. Then if you don't want to go for a walk, but them on top of a washing machine and do a load of laundry. It can give you a load of fish, if the eggs are slightly overdue.

You happen to be aware of you want to renovate your house, still you don’t know where to start, suitable? Well, you’re not alone. Many house owners dive into the renovation process with no clue of exactly what is available. It’s only after they go through renovation mishaps that they feel dissapointed about not having a plan. Without study, the home renovation process may be full of disappointments because nothing like building a new house, you aren't starting with a blank standing. There can be unforeseen expenses and also issues that make the process tough. So before you go down most of the twists and turns on your renovation path, here are 8-10 things you must know before you start redesigning. 1. Invest in a Key Lockbox. If you're renovating your home before you decide to actually move into it as well as live far away, consider pc key lockbox. If there am often large projects on your skills that you can't do all on your own, you'll need to hire a corporation. Remember that contractors start 1st, so unless you want to go in morning rush-hour visitors let workers inside, plan to attach a lockbox and even install smart door ingredients that allows you to provide entry so that you can guests with a code. It might possibly save you countless hours of time, gallons of fuel, and distressing, early morning wake-up calls. 2. Spend Time in the Space. When obvious as it might seem, it is significant hold off on some decisions like paint colors, brown area rug, and light fixtures until you making the effort00 in the space you're increasing. For example , if you want to replace out of date carpet, the choices can be intensified. Dense or loose products? Striated or no pattern? Just what exact shade of tiresome? The answers depend on the opposite aspects of the renovation, in particular choosing paint colors. Color palettes selected before the renewal started need to be seen after walls and could change since you also spend time in the house. Freshly hued walls and new flooring can reveal that one or two light fixtures just may well illuminate the space as you supposed it would. If you spend more time upfront considering the way everything works together around the room you're remodeling, you can save against your several back-to-the-drawing-board moments. 3. Be Realistic About Your Timeline. Your own personal renovation will take longer in contrast with expected, so be prepared and also prepare accommodations to avoid frustration. In particular, you might think that replacing a new whirlpool tub and out-of-date double vanity in a tub will be quick. Removal of obsolete fixtures can take a few hours, about locating a new tub coupled with vanity you love can take many months. It can be another two weeks right before they're delivered. An expect of using your new gorge bath within a week will be able to turn into a six-week waiting period. Be realistic about the renovation process and timeline and select the newly purchased updates before having the existing materials removed. 4. Expect most of the Unexpected. All homes possess secrets, in the walls, beneath the floors, and elsewhere. The particular renovation can bring those in order to light. Like when your professional tells you your floors are often uneven due to a shifted coronary heart joist while measuring for your highly anticipated new serious wood floors. Now you need to manage the home inspector who possessed missed it and get the floor joist repaired before the new substance can go down. This is one particular example of how you should be expecting the unexpected by planning extra time in your renovation chronology and extra money into your reconstruction budget to allow for unanticipated occurrences along the way. 5. Interview Many Contractors. It pays to occupation interview multiple contractors and assessment bids. Suppose you want your existing hot water heater removed from an upstairs closet and a brand-new one installed in the garage area. The first plumber you ask claims he plans to demand $6, 000 and might reroute hot water lines. cutting into your living room tray tolerance to do so. The second plumber defined it was too much work. Plumbing engineer three plans to finish the job in a day and charge $3, 285 with no water string rerouting needed. Without interviewing multiple contractors, you function the risk of paying too much rather than getting what you want. It pays to finish your homework and check with several experts before making a person last decision. 6. Renovate Your special Kitchen First. Homeowners typically want to know in what order weather resistant renovate a house. It’s furthermore best to start with the kitchen because these remodels add major value ease. According to the National Association from Remodeling Industry’s 2019 renovating impact report, realtors strategy that homeowners can acquire 59% of the cost of a total kitchen renovation if they provide their home. Plus, if you have typically the outdated kitchen, upgrading the exact worn-out space will let you quite a lot better enjoy the space while prepared home. Practically speaking, a person do the kitchen remodel first because that work will create the best dust and debris, you won't want landing by using new paint or consider jobs. It's always a good idea to separate any demolition mess by just putting plastic over gates or pass-throughs. Since an important kitchen remodel typically takes virtually a year to complete, you’ll want to well-known a temporary substitute kitchen through the dining room, family room, or another adjoining area in your house. 7. Often be Specific About Design Tips. You'll want to narrow down your style preferences before you meet with an internal designer. Get inspiration through browsing home decorating magazines, style websites, and design presents. Getting a handle on a structure direction will help you avoid looking talked into a designer's non-public ideas, which might be different from your own vision for the renovation. On top of that, keep your designer strictly with your budget. Don't allow them to purchase expensive materials and cost for it later. If you try to stay within a specific time period, your costs will stay very low, too. Much more information on website
