Quick Hatching & Care Guide

Raising L. tanganicanus from eggs is a rewarding challenge for intermediate to advanced hobbyists.

• Incubation: Eggs are typically water-incubated for 3 weeks.

• First Foods: Once hatched, fry require live baby brine shrimp (BBS) to thrive.

***Hatching & Success Disclaimer***

Killifish eggs are a live, natural product, and hatch rates can vary significantly. Due to factors outside of our control, Orange Aquatics cannot guarantee that any eggs will hatch, the number of eggs that will hatch, or the male-to-female ratio of the resulting fish.

Successful incubation depends on many variables, including the buyer’s incubation methods, water quality, temperature, timing, handling, and overall husbandry experience. Every hobbyist’s setup and level of experience is different, which can greatly influence hatch rates and fry survival.

By purchasing fertilized killifish eggs from Orange Aquatics, you acknowledge that you are purchasing a natural product and accept the inherent variability associated with hatching live eggs. The buyer assumes responsibility for all aspects of incubation and raising the fry.

We carefully inspect and package every order to provide healthy, viable eggs, but because we cannot control conditions after the eggs leave our care, no guarantees are made regarding hatch success, hatch quantity, fry survival, growth, coloration, or sex ratio.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting responsible fish breeding.
