3 inches |
| Food: |
mostly enriched 3 day old brine shrimp, at about the 60 DPS point I started adding minced frozen brine and mysis shrimp in the same area as adding the live brine. |
| Feeding Schedule: |
several times a day, I try to always have food available to them. |
| Fry Description: |
Mostly brown but they have different shades from black to light brown. Three inches in length from tip of nose to tip of tail. They look exactly the same as the adults just three inch versions instead of ten inch adults. |

| Other Information: |
There is a lot of missing information in the journal for the first life stages. These are babies collected from a public aquarium so I really don't have the ability to get things like spawn dates and adults diets. This is a report for getting the babies from settlement to 60 DPS. I hope to now use these to raise them up and breed them to get full credit. |
