Had a hatch last night. It's hard to see but there are a couple hundred fry in this pic...

I love a good fishing trip.

congrats!

 

[dantodd]

thanks. I really hope I can give them an adequate environment to grow this time. It's quite a learning experience.

hmmm.... 100% fatality. I have no idea why... really starting to get frustrating.....

 

[mobert]

it happens. When I first started raising babies, I learned a little more with each clutch. You are making progress. Raising rotifers and getting the bubbles just right for the larvae to hatch are tricky tasks.

Possible problems could be too strong of a bubble movement that pummels the larvae, improper food density. Not enough rotifers and they starve. Too many rotifers and the oxygen supply and water quality suffer. Too much phyto in the same water with the rotifers and larvae could foul the water.

Best of luck with the next clutch.

I'll keep at it until I get it right. I'm a little stubborn that way.

thanks for the words of encouragement.
