Videos and photos are pretty tough in a BRT. Since the number of eggs left were pretty low on this and an O nest, I hatched them in the same tank. Video 1 Video 2 Photos

Looks good, are you using greenwater technique?
Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]

These guys are off rotifers, so I've quit w the greenwater. But I did/do use it while they are on rots for the first week. Right now they are on BBS and TDO-B1. Miles

Since these guys were co cultured with orange ocellaris, the jury is still out how many of each I got... but not a whole lot of either.

Here's some current photos. I think I may have more B&Ws than Ocellaris... and 2 True Percs made it too. This GO tank has all 3! Miles

Appears to be bacterial. The pump on my UV seized up, and could have been that way for at least a week until I found it. I replaced the unit with a smaller one I had onhand, but I think it was too little too late. 2 days later... all dead.

Dang, that stinks. At least it wasn't brood stock though.
