I have to ship eggs to Portugal of my rubrostriata. A few weeks
back I experimented with a mop and the fish. I spawned them for a
day (didn't get many eggs as they were in the main tank with half a
dozen other fish). I removed the mop, wringed it 'dry' and then
popped it into a plastic bag. After a week the eggs were still fine. At
10 days a few eggs had disappeared. At 14 no eggs were left.
Would this damp mop method work for long distance travel. From
experiance, shipping eggs laiden mops in a bag of water never
yielded any results when coming my way.
Any comments?
Thanks
