Not really sure what happened on this one. By all schedules, the evening of July 2nd, going in the morning of July 3rd, was the first “hatch night” for Spawn #36. Somewhere shortly before midnight on the 2nd, we had a power outage. It maybe lasted an hour, and when I got down into the basement, there was not a single egg on the tile, and not a single larvae swimming around in the tank. If I’m honest, it appears as though they may have hatched far earlier in the day, or perhaps were even eaten by the parents – normally there would have been SOME eggs left, but this time, nothing. Did the fish freak out and eat the eggs during the power outage? Frank, I don’t know. I don’t recall checking the nest at all today, so I really can’t say if it was even there in the AM.
And so ends spawn #36…
