Several posts on eggs with short incubation periods, what's the longest anyone's eggs have taken to hatch?

I've had them go as long as 110 days.

last year my uni eggs went 117 days @ about 77* average. that was the longest ever but other years have been very close to that number as well........

What patience, its only 96 days and I'm eyeing the razor. Seriously though , how was the hatching percentage?

david, last year it was 100%, other years, close to it. i like them to take as long as possible because i think bigger hatchlings result and those are easier to work w/. also, because deep down i kinda dread the 'chore' i know is gonna ensue once they show up. the last few years i bred WAY too many stubborn feeders [drys, whips, etc.] and vowed last summer, never again!! i had no time for anything else it seemed and i pretty much burnt out. i'm gonna alternate years from now on. best of luck w/ your brood! keep us posted......dannio
