I never finish anyth
This is my first attempt raising fish larvae, its been a bit of a learning experience! I don't own the parents, just picked the eggs up from a local hobbyist.
Old pics of mom and dad:
I picked up the snowflake x black ice eggs on 5/7.
They hatched the night of 5/9, I got an estimated 150 to hatch. I lost most of them on days 2 and 3, but I had approx 40 left that went through metamorphosis. Lessons learned - light too bright, a little too much flow, water too cold. I had them in a black round tub with an airstone and heater (after a few days) and clip-on worklamp above them. Day 7 I moved them over to a 10 gallon aquarium with blacked out sides. A few days later about half of them showed at least a little stripe. They grew a little slower than normal because I didn't have a heater in with them for the first few days.
Day 10:
13 days old.
