They hatch in the 5th night.
How big is yr tank?.Were they easy to pair off?.Is that Mom in the pic?.Are dorsal fins different in male and female?

Yes,they can be raised with L rots,but they´re difficult to crack
![]() ![]() Yr tank looks pretty barren.The male get´s more aggressive during egg caring and the female could use some extra hiding places.

Fantastic! What did you use in the end - L strain rotifers and newly hatched brine, and was it really 12 years of work or did you have some breaks!?
I applaude you for continuing to work with these for so many years given their low commercial value. Good on you ![]() Last edited by chris melb; 01/03/2018 at 05:31 AM. |

Thank you for your praise. It's not easy to breed sea fish, but the fun of it is really hard to buy. |
