The nest appear to be in the 1000+ range and I would say after all is said and done I have 400-800 larvae currently in a ten gallon.     <message edited by wdt on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 10:07 AM>   #6 wdt Total Posts : 156 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Premnas biaculeatus] Friday, October 7, 2011 10:28 AM (permalink) I have found that starting in a 29 with these large nest works much better than a ten gallon. I have much higher survival rates. I just start with the tank half full and slowly fill it over the next 3 days to keep water quality in check. At day 4 water changes are much easier.       #7 wdt Total Posts : 156 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Premnas biaculeatus] Monday, October 24, 2011 10:40 AM (permalink) 60 DPH   Baby from another batch.     #8 wdt Total Posts : 156 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Premnas biaculeatus] Monday, December 5, 2011 11:01 AM (permalink) Its been suggested that poor nutrition lead to more misbars in Maroons. So I started this batch only with nhbbs then moved on to unenriched three day old brine and crushed flake food.  Sadly I did not get any more misbars, really I think if anything they appear to have better patterns that most of my other batches that were feed enriched rotifers and brine followed by oto.      #9 wdt Total Posts : 156 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Premnas biaculeatus] Thursday, January 5, 2012 9:50 AM (permalink) Taken 1-1-12 or roughly 120 dps. These guys are somewhat stunted compared to my other batches in terms of growth.      #10 Chelle's Ocean Total Posts : 399 Reward points : 242 Joined: 8/14/2010 Location: Inverness, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Captive Reefs.com Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Premnas biaculeatus] Sunday, January 8, 2012 7:55 PM (permalink) Stunted?.... lol...I was thinking Oh!
