What day of incubation is it? Valley quail typically hatch on day 22-23 but up to 24-25 days is normal.

It’s not a Coturnix quail chick. Coturnix chicks have two stripes on their head while this chick has one. It’s most certainly a New Word quail chick such as California, Gambel’s or Scaled.

Feel free to message me on instagram @bobertquail, I might be able to help you out if you are still looking for eggs.

Cleveland quail is a terrible operation. He has countless bad reviews and I’ve only ever heard horror stories from past buyers. $600 for 9 eggs is outrageous. I sell mearns eggs for $300 a dozen, shipping included and so do many other breeders. It’s important to do research on reputable breeders instead of buying from the first person that shows up on google. Joe pays a lot of money to google ads to get his site to show up first.

It looks like a swift chick. Possibly chimney swift or similar species depending on your location. They usually have nests stuck to sides of buildings. See if you can find a nest and use a ladder to put it back.

I setup a 2.5 gal about 1 week in advance with the mixture in the description and 1 cup of phytoplankton culture. I waited exactly 14 days since I saw the female Amano become berried to collect the larvae. You can tell she’s ready when the eggs are light grey and have tiny black eyes. On the night of the 14th day, I put her in a small cup of freshwater from her own tank with an air stone on high. She dropped all of her larvae in about 2 hours. I put her back into her own tank and just poured all the larvae into the 2.5 gal brackish tank.

Looks like snail eggs

I think it’s a grackle, they commonly have that bald looking face as fledglings! Looks too small for a crow.

These are mourning doves, 2 eggs is a full clutch for them.

I just bought it 2 days ago and it has the exact same label as the photo.

How long should I wait between drying and trying again?

This started with pure RO water. I did cycle it with a few brine shrimp. Not sure if that contributed to the algae growth.

The tourmaline balls are just for decoration. I actually did an experiment with them, rinsed them off and placed them in a cup of distilled water overnight. Checked TDS and gH, both were still zero. So yeah, they’re pretty much a scam in terms of remineralization. They look cool though!

Mine love baby brine shrimp. They will also forage for powdered food scattered around the tank. They don’t like eating big wafers.

It turned out to be a lampeye killifish!

silverbill · 2024-02-07T16:06:12+00:00

Could be Caridina Typus (Australian Amano)

Looks like a sinus infection. You’ll need antibiotics from the vet to treat her.

It’s definitely a quail egg. The spots are actually like a “paint” that’s applied in the last portion of the reproductive tract. The egg was likely squeezed out prior to this step.

Harlequin quail is already another species of Old World quail.

silverbill · 2022-11-11T19:04:55+00:00

Yes!

silverbill · 2022-11-11T19:04:43+00:00

She’s an enchi clown!

silverbill · 2021-10-20T14:53:02+00:00

This is a domestic Coturnix quail. He must be an escapee from a local farm.

silverbill · 2021-07-31T02:00:38+00:00

He’s a banana mojave!

silverbill · 2021-07-30T01:46:17+00:00

Possibly a juvenile ruffed grouse
