| # Not Hatched |
Unknown, from that spawn. See additional notes |
| Larvae Size |
~3mm |
| First Food: |
Mainly L strain rotifers that also have a small number of S rotifers and Apocyclops panamensis mixed in from a previous larval rearing attempt |
Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
Black, large pectoral fins, large head that makes them look bullet shaped, ~3mm with a general appearance of something between a dottyback and clownfish larva, look to have a well developed mouth. |
| Other Details |
| Other Information: |
There are many eggs remaining in the pipe section, but it is unknown which spawn they are from since this species spawns multiple times in the same area over a period of a week.
The tank information is for the larval tank the eggs were moved to before hatch. |
