Hello Darrell,
The incubation time of Nothobranchius Cardinalis is between 8 and 12 weeks, but my personal experience with Nothobranchius Cardinalis Lisinjiri River Tan 97/27 is the following.
My first hatch the temperature was between 23-25°C. was at 4 months. Then , something bizar came on, the second hatch the eggs were not ready after 5, 6, 7, 8, then the 9th month they all hatched. So, please do not give up hope as they can go into diapause II for a long time. Depending on the oxygen, temperature and dryness. I talked to Ruud Wildekamp about this and he concluded the same. I do not know if Brian shares the same experience and maybe he can explain why in nature this might be the case,at the lisinjiri river?
I believe that they are a very playfull fish and they are very prone to velvet. They need regular water changes and i use some salt from time to time. My first hatch they were habited by my feeding times and they even ate out of my hands, it was very nice to see.
Today, both Mbwemkuru River KTZ 85-28 and Lisinjiri River Tan 97-27 are in the hobby and commonly spread although the Lisinjiri was a few years ago less in the hobby. The lisinjiri strain has a completely red anal fin, whereas the Mbwemkuru has a yellow line in the bottom of the anal fin.
as with all fish, you need to check for diapause III (the eyes in the eggs) before wetting the eggs. It takes some experience especially with small eggs such as N. Janpapi but it saves you wetting the peat unneeded.
greetings
Tom
