# Hatched |
Unknown, but I only caught one that night |
# Not Hatched |
Unknown |
Larvae Size |
~3-4mm, but not actually measured |
First Food: |
L strain rotifers, Apocyclops panamensis copepods, and newly hatched artemia with live phyto added as well |
Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
Attracted to light, clear-ish, have eyes, tail and legs that can be relatively easy to see. |
Other Details |
Other Information: |
This particular hatch was not collected very efficiently. Later hatches were collected better and typically yielded hundreds of larvae. I typically start them now on just newly hatched artemia and live phytoplankton and leave out the Apocyclops and rotifers, although I doubt it hurts to have those in there too. |
