We had a 100% hatch last night (12/05/2011)!!! 6" clay pot was removed from broodstock tank and placed into larvae rearing tub (25gal round tub). Eggs were then aerated using airstone, with bubbles moving across eggs. After lights went out all hatched between 10pm-12am. This morning, rotifers were added as well as 2.5mL of rotigreen omega.
