Fragile eggs
What is a/the key faktor what makes eggs so fragile?
I have some Hypancistrus Inspektor eggs at the moment and just by looking at them they burst.
My females have been carying these eggs for at least 1,5 years before finally spawning with my new males (introduced in the tank 2 months ago).
I have had 2 spawns now. The first batch didn't make it. The eggs I have now are extremely fragile. They also look a bit pale, at first I thought the weren't fertile but they are. A little embryo has started to show.
I have heard of egg shells being to tough because of high conductivity. Could it be the same the other way round? Although I have never had this problem with other Hypancistrus eggs so far. My conductivity is around 300 microsiemens.
Or could it be that the eggs are not of a great quality?
