|
| Hatch Time: |
after 8 am (remember, reverse photoperiod) |
Fry Count:
( at Hatch ) |
approximately 400 |
Fry Count:
( at Settlement ) |
approximately 200 |
| Fry Size: |
5-7 mm |
| Food: |
rotifers until meta (no brine shrimp); Otohime A supplemented starting at day 3 because of difficulty keeping rotifer levels adequate. Otohime B1 starting on day 11 and B2 starting after meta |
| Feeding Schedule: |
twice daily (I couldn't keep up with this large spawn, often the tank would be completely devoid of rotifers by the time the second feeding occurred... day job gets in the way) |
Fry Description:
(Pre Settlement) |
thin due to problems with keeping enough food in the tub. Surprisingly, I was still able to get quite a few to make it through meta. |
Fry Description:
(Post Settlement) |
thin due to difficulties in keeping enough prey items in the tank |
