This is a series of shots from 6/3/2010. These are from 6/11/2010 and are the day they hatched. A few (3-4) of them lasted about four days. Unfortunately I had to leave town for a fishing trip and subsequently for a school or a vacation (I don't remember which) and was unable to continue feeding them in my absence. I sold them a couple months later. Tank conditions were approximately: Temp 78-80F SG 1.021-1.023 light schedule 0600-2000 but there was no direct light over the 40 breeder at the time. I fed my own mash of cyclopeeze, seaweed, salmon row, salmon meat, squid, seasquirt, mysis and table shrimp.
