Mate for C. interrupta

[MikeandNicole]

Just think of them as ugly ducklings!
It's difficult to count them but I'm guessing there are about 30 left. I know that sounds like very little compared to what we started with but I'm happy with it.

WOOHOO!
Go Karen!

I have not worked with Paracentropyge before so I'm not sure how long it will take. They do seem to be fast in developing. I had been feeding a mix a wild plankton and cultured copepods but the wild plankton I've gotten the past week has been too dirty so it's been mainly cultured copepods.

Try to keep the peppermints untill thy spawn...

If I get these P. venusta through their larval phase I'd be itching to try the peppermints!

Sorry Karen, you did good though and your on the right path. I'm sure the next run will go better, fingers crossed for more eggs!

 

[Yurivd]

Sorry to hear
Every run you are doing better so I am sure the next run will be fishes

 

[mrehfeld]

I too am sorry, but with every setback comes a lesson learned and opportunity for future success. Thank you for all you are doing and I look forward to your inevitable success.

10 steps forward, 1 back. We're all rooting for you Karen

Bummer Karen. Hopefully it gets better the next time around. Eventually, you will succeed! It's in your DNA!

 

[MikeandNicole]

Hang in there Karen!

Thanks for the support everyone. I appreciate it.
This can be a frustrating field but I would choose the same path if I had to choose again.:headwally:

The lone surviving venusta larva is hanging in there and looks better this afternoon. Since she's trying so hard to make it, I'm going to help her. So the next larval run will start when she settles or dies trying. I may be able to get her into another larval tank and start a new run sooner and I'll see if I can work that through this weekend.
