9.2.5 Egg-burriers
A peat-moss substrate is one of the best substrates for egg-burying species. The peat moss can be removed after spawning and placed in a plastic bag to be stored for weeks to months (depending on the species). A new peat moss substrate can be placed in the tank for further spawning. In order to initiate hatching, the stored peat can be immersed in soft water. |
