Question
my blackmoor( fish)has recently laid eggs how long is it untill they hatch so i can get everything prepared ?

Answer
Hi Josh,
 Typically fish eggs take a few days to hatch but the length of time is entirely dependent on temperature.  Even more importantly: do you have just one fish (i.e., a female) because if you don't have a male in there, unfortunately the eggs will not be fertilized and can never hatch.
