I have two groups of N. strauchii laying eggs this year. For the older animals, this is their 4th egg laying year (6-year-old animals). For the younger animals, this is their 1st egg laying year (3-year-old animals). Interestingly, the eggs from the two tanks are very different!
- The eggs from the older animals are noticeably larger. (It's even more obvious by eye than it is in these photos.)
- Most of the eggs from the older animals are developing normally.
- Few (perhaps none) of the eggs from the younger animals are developing (mostly duds).
