I incubated my eggs in freshwater in clear containers at room temperature.
that is how I got males, according to something I read somewhere that they
did a study on the egg development under different conditions. I cannot
find where I read this, which is too bad, alot of good information.
something with the light, freshwater, and possibly temperature cued the
eggs suposedly to become male. Must be a sign to the eggs that "things are
good".
