Alan Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 If BN eggs are outside the spawning 'cave' there is little chance they will survive and hatch. Just surf back through the hundreds of BN post on this forum and you will find all the answers. The eggs are easily hastched artificially, either in a fry saver, veggie strainer, or just a coffee jar with gentle air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
