| First Food: |
Rotifers raised on Reed Rotifer Diet. Greenwater acheived by tinting the water with Reed Nannocholoropsis, about 2ml. Baby Brine Shrimp within 4 hours of hatch. 1ml of AmGuard for ammonia control daily. |
Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
small yellow/white critters that are attracted to light. Movement varys, with some moving in straight paths, others appear to jump from position to position. Others still seem to spin very rapidly.
They are 2-3 times the size (bulkier) of peppermint larvae and much easier to make out with the naked eye (or with my glasses in my case). |
