Wow Luis, how do you tell if they are L. boggessi or L. wurdemanni? Any distinct differences?

Pale body,no saddle marks,dark tail.

Flashligt sucks! Clamp an incandescent linght over the tank.You need both hands for siphoning!

That's why God made duct tape Luis... for fastening the flashlight so you don't have to hold it.

Hmm, I see. I have something very similar to L. wurdemanni but I have seen one pc that when stressed it exhibits a pale body and a dark blue tail. Kindly advise if you're around Andrew.

WIll they eat copepods? I have a 10 gallon tank that is FULL of copepods and a couple of volcano shrimp, but mostly just millions of pods. I got my first fry a couple days ago in my seahorse tank, and i trhough abotu 4 of them in the tank with the pods. Any chance they might survive?
