[JuJuMan16]

Keep me updated please, I just noticed that my pair of Ocellaris laid eggs. WOOOHOOOOO!!! im so happy. I will try to siphon out the babies when they hatch, but i dont know when that will be. The eggs are clear and you can actually see them inside.

That is spectacular! Only 3 days left to go before metamorphosis! I can hardly wait!

154 Total!!

You actually counted? And I thought *I* was OCD...

Round may be the way to go...just as I am getting my square tanks set up...food for thought...

You could round off the corners with 1/8" acrylic and silicone the edges. Most Ace Hardware Stores carry 1/8" acrylic and will cut it to size for you.

NicoleC,
You're not the only one OCD.
I count sometimes as well.

Starting to see a white stripe near the head of many of the larvae. Their bodies look thicker as well. I would say they are undergoing metamorphisis but it seems a bit early.

Day 8 tomorrow!!

 

[jacob30]

Day 8 and I believe almost all of them have undergone metamorphesis or are going through it. Most have at least one stripe and many are forming two. I only notice 2 out of the group that look like larvae still. Here is a really bad pic but I think it shows there shape and starting to form stripes and color.

Two deaths today

 

[NicoleC]

Only 2 deaths during metamorphosis sounds really good.

I love that pic -- it makes them look like they are whizzing around everywhere in there!

 

[jacob30]

Yes they whiz around like they have had an expresso or something!!

 

[Kathy55g]

That is amazing! What are you feeding them? They all look very advanced for day 8, compared to the ones that I raised.
Fabulous!

Lots of rotifers! I just started introducing them to BBS yesterday. They do seem like they matured faster than what I have read. A higher temp might have helped as well. Yesterday I took off the front panel cover and was able to really see all them for the first time.
