Austrolebias affinis egg - ready to hatch


I made this picture to show, how an egg of an annual killifish looks like, if they are ready to hatch.
I have a small microscope, best magnification is x 20 to see this in a proper way.
The eggs are ready, if you see the embryo move inside the egg - this is a very amazing sight, don't miss it - it's stunning! The eye is fully developed.
Ah - I almost forgot to say, which species laid this egg: is it from Austrolebias affinis "Durazno" - the species is a fairly easy one, compared to other SAA.
