| Food: |
Flake foods, frozen Cyclopeeze. |

Four times per day, every four hours. |
| Fry Description: |
Not fully black at this point but noticeably darker than regular A. ocellaris. This first batch had a high percentage of misbarring. Later batches produced only a few misbars. |
| Other Details |
| Other Information: |
The Darwins produce fewer eggs that regular A. ocellaris and the fry mature a bit slower at the beginning. Since this first batch I've raised several more batches that have been, or are close to being, sold to LFS's. |
