| Other Information: |
Tank was odd shape to use but it was my first batch of these and was new to breeding. It actually worked well for the small batch and did provide an interesting flow pattern. After settlement the larvae typically were oriented to the flow as shown in the journal picture. The losses I suffered were related to the siphon used to gather the larvae. Future batches typically lost very few during larval period. |
