Unfortunately, none of them survived my weekend away. I thought at least a few would have been still alive. The rotifer population is fine so they didn't run out of food. I Figure the lack of detritus siphoning caused the problem. On a good note, there are eggs in the pipe. Although I don't know exactly when they were laid.

Apparently my estimated spawn date was a bit off this time. When I checked the pipe today the eggs were gone but then I looked up near the surface and saw this... Not as many as last time but I'm assuming that the rest were caught in the filter. They are now in a BRT for round 2.

Man these guys are machines! I tried to catch them spawning last night but both of my batteries were dead. Today I was greeted with this:

Update on this batch. Looks like they're pretty close to hatching.
