That’s it ! The eyes are now clearly visible on the Sanday eggs! From now on, it should be really interesting to follow the growth of the embryos and in a couple of weeks, look for any sign of foam on the sides of the tank: a light foam is the result of enzymes breaking down the eggs as they hatch. By the time you’re back from your mid-term break next Monday, I’m sure we’ll notice a big difference with the ova.

Sanday’s little eggs it’s cool fun doing this wish it could go on forever!!
Hi
I am so excited that they are “eyeing up”!
We Saw Them And You Can Just See Little Things Curled Up Inside! I am Really Excited For Them To Turn Into Alevins But I dont Want Them To Go!!!
today me, tyler and lauren went out to check the eggs and they are doing realy well and alot better than yesterday (yesterdaz 2 eggs had died)
I saw one with two eyes in it today I so do want to see real ova (not the one on the picture) =)
Well done guys for keeping such a close eye on our eggs! Two dead eggs yesterday is not the end of the world! A lot more would have died by now if they were in the wild, under the gravel of a river bed! Considering we started with about 300 eggs and that we lost a dozen, that’s only 4% loss.
Look for any sign of foam on the surface: that’s a sure sign that eggs are hatching.
Keep up the good work!
Mr.P
