pretty mush constant, adding fresh brine shrimp daily |
Fry Description:
(Pre Settlement) |
Before settlement the fry float in the water current, they have have the basic shrimp shape except they also have two long appendages that help them float. Some red color but not as mush as an adult shrimp. |
Fry Description:
(Post Settlement) |
Exact miniature replicas of the parents, they now stay mostly on the bottom of the BRT sometimes not the sides. They have more red now. |
