*Sigh*. I thought the earliest they could come was sunday then I backed 2 days off of that to Friday. Well here they are today. 15 days after the last batch so he must have gotten preggers the same day he had the last batch then incubation was 1 day faster.

Still not quite ready. It was on my list to start bbs this morning so they'd be fresh tomorrow morning.

2 days ago I added fertilizer to the larva tank to keep the algae up.

So I caught about 30 babies. Put them in a 1.5 gallon container with parent tank water. Also put in a couple thousand parvocalanus this morning. Some appeared to be actively hunting and eating. But the light is not quite right so we'll see if the babies find the food. I gave them some things to hitch to.

Hopefully but not likely they'll last til tomorrow morning when I have baby brine available.
