| First Food: |

Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
This hatch was not overly attracted to light. I ended up having to siphon them out of the breeder tank to collect them rather than them being collected in the fry catcher.
They are similar in appearance to other clown fry, silvery in appearance to the eye.
Larvae have large blue iridescent eyes, large yellow internals (not sure what this is) and well developed spine. Fin definition is well defined. |
