Crazyfishlady Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 "big mama" as I call her is the one that was first berried and is carrying the most eggs. I could have sworn that she was NOT berried on 12-30 and was on 12-31. As of today that would make it one day shy of 2 weeks. Tonight I notice she now has a new saddle. I thought that meant that she would be giving birth within days of the new saddle showing up? Is that right? If so, how is that possible? I read snowballs take about 30+ days. Another horrible pic sorry,she's the one on the top. My cameras does great for football games but not so much for macro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miwu Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I've never heard new saddle would mean that the current eggs are about to hatch. It should just means that she's very healthy and is ready for the next batch whenever she molts. Pika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 hmmm ok, I read a few places that the arrival of a new saddle meant that babies were going to be born shortly. I stalked her in the tank trying to see if I could see little eyes, but she is staying to the back tonight, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have to agree with Miwu on this one. Saddle has nothing to do (due? heh) with eggs hatching. Crazyfishlady and miwu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 You can guess when the clutch will hatch but it's almost impossible to be sure when. To many factors chime into play here like temp tds gh Kh and minerals in the water Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
