So I was pretty much ruling out any RSB's still being around when I noticed a brine shrimp with eyes in the tank today...wait a second - brine shrimp don't have EYES!

So at least one has made it out to 86 hours (just over 3.5 days) since being SPAWNED...so that's roughly 2.75 days post hatch, or 66 hours post hatch (I'm using Oct 30th, 8 PM as the hatch time when I shot the pictures of the 0 hour fish). I shot these with the QX5 at 10X, 60X and 200X, both top lit and lit from underneath.

FWIW,
