Tim, it's not a bad idea...but I wonder how quickly something like a 5 micron prefilter would get completely clogged with rotifers. I am comfortable that with only one larvae, water quality isn't going to be an issue.

The larval tank has a nice population of copepods going now too..not the tiggerpods but the smaller ones that live with my rotifers (no clue what type they are). The tank could probably benefit from some rotifer harvest and a small water change, but otherwise things haven't changed from the last update which is a GREAT THING because now our 1 remaining larvae is either 169 hours old OR 240 days old (10 days!?)

The behavior on this larvae now has me guessing again...he's back up feeding in the water column. 2 more days and it should be settled. So now the bad news..I'm out of town this weekend again (fly fishing duty calls!) so you'll all be without updates. By the time I get home I hope to see my first settled mandarin larvae!
