Other Information: |
All misbarred fry are culled. Each batch seems to reflect how well I am able to care for the larvae. The better I do the less misbars. This first batch for me is my first batch of Clownfish ever, and all but one were misbars. Younger batches I have now are better, closer to 50%. |
