Just wanted to share this R. aurora and A. gracile egg photo comparison. You can see that the R. aurora is much more developed than the A. gracile. They were taken from the same pond, off the same stick actually. When i found them they were probably about the same age, the R. aurora might be a week older, or a week and a half at most.
The R. aurora are growing much much faster that the A. gracile, and i am thinking this might be a survival strategy? So the R. aurora would hatch sooner and grow faster and get big enough so that when the A. gracile hatch they wont eat them? Just an idea.
Pictures.
P.S. I am going to be coming out with an R. aurora egg growth photo progression in a while, and then after that an A. gracile egg photo progression
P.P.S.S Ignore the other A. gracile egg in the side of the picture.
