Look at day 6! Almost all the remaining 10 or so larvae have full or almost full guts now!  Guess they were unable to eat the rotifers till just recently.   #73 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Tuesday, June 1, 2010 10:20 PM (permalink) NICE.  Congratulations on getting something in the guts.  A step forward.  Wittenrich can probably comment on this with more accuracy than I could, but I do notice that the yolk was not absorbed until day 3.  Now, I would've assumed that the parental Cardinalfish would have incubated the babies until that point, but who knows.  Regardless, it is quite possible that the first time the baby was ready to feed was at day 3.  And as we know from some other marine fish, feedings on the first day are seldom successful. Still, there is something that's changed in your rearing process that has helped tip this last 10 larvae onto feeding.  Recreating the environment you have at this point, earlier in the next batch, may get them feeding earlier next time, which will give you a better shot at long term success.  Stick with it!

IDK I'm going to check on them soon.  Update for today coming...   #75 Bongo Shrimp Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 425 Joined: 12/14/2009 Location: West Bloomfield Status: offline MBI: 1070 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Wednesday, June 2, 2010 6:17 PM (permalink) Day 7.  This one has a full full gut!   #76 Bongo Shrimp Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 425 Joined: 12/14/2009 Location: West Bloomfield Status: offline MBI: 1070 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Thursday, June 3, 2010 6:54 PM (permalink) 8 days in!  This is the healthiest of the group.   #77 fishboy13 Total Posts : 151 Reward points : 431 Joined: 10/25/2009 Location: Waterford, MI Status: offline MBI: 480 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Thursday, June 3, 2010 6:57 PM (permalink) Yeah full bellies .  Are these pictures taken at the same magnification as they were day 1?   #78 Bongo Shrimp Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 425 Joined: 12/14/2009 Location: West Bloomfield Status: offline MBI: 1070 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Thursday, June 3, 2010 8:53 PM (permalink) Well being a cheap digital microscope, there is no scale and no measurement to tell me the magnification.  I do know that I tried to get as close as possible without being blurry so that means it is extremely close to being the same for each one.  I'm going to get a real microscope once I get some extra $$$.   #79 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Thursday, June 3, 2010 8:56 PM (permalink) What scope are you using? http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #80 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 12345 > | Showing page 4 of 5, messages 61 to 80 of 96 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
