My first spawn was 5/5. They hatched 5/10. They are about 2 mm so smaller than some of the smaller gobies. But it follows the rule the smaller larva equals more larva. Literature I've read small neon gobies have 50 to 250 per hatch. This was thousands upon thousands. I didn't have any real copepod storage so I set up different cups with small numbers to see what food source could keep them alive until today. My order from Reed arrives today. The fish in the starvation cup still have a few alive but most are dead. Plain nano and artificial food seems to have the most. The tisbe cups most of them are being eaten by the tisbes. bbs is too big. i didn't have any rots at the time. Pictures in a bit.
