Oh, sorry to hear that. They seemed like pretty amazing fish. Good luck getting the little ones through.

It's not the fact that these were expensive fish I'm so pi**ed about, its just the fact that I could have prevented it. I have to save the babies to justify my taking these fish.......

Here's a pic of the small larval tank I have the 3 remaining dottys in. They are 7-8 days old now. And here is a shot of one of the larvae. Not very good but with only 3 I don't want to risk damaging any of them by removing them.

Only 1 fry left this morning... Can't see what he's eating? Spends most of the time picking at the side of the tank. Takes an interest in the nhbs but only circles them and then swims away. Occassionly I see him pick at one but not actually eat any. I'm concerned now he wont make it as I can't see how nutritionally he is surviving.

No not quite but nearly! Been really busy this week. I have been asked to do some consultancy at a local bakery so it's taking up alot of my time. The last larvae died yesterday so thats the end of this journal until I can get another pair. I need to pay more attention to my rots and pods as I don't think they got enough food. All my cultures keep crashing so Im gonna set them up in the sump shed where its alot cooler. I think the cultures are reproducing too rapidly in the fish house and then crashing. Also had my female striped fang blenny take a dive this week and my last dracula goby, even with netting over the tanks. I don't know how they manage to find the holes. My blue streaks spawned again today but the male still hasn't stepped up to the plate as I found 2 small eggballs on thebottom of the tank. Put them in a cup and aerated them but doubt there even fertilised.
