Will eat some L-type rotifers (seen in gut), but not in big enough numbers to sustain them. No other food offered. |
Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
To the naked eye they are difficult to see, quite clear with two black eyes when viewed from above. Viewing from the side reveals bright blue eyes. Fully developed mouth. Can't comment on gut and cloaca...I'm not learned on that yet! |
