Only about half hatched last night. But the eggs still looked fine so I left them aerating along with the fry. I added rotifers and RGComplete.

Near total loss of everything in my growout sytem. Saved about 15 out of about 500 little ones. But I did have around 100 percs in the hatching system that are showing head stripes from the 8/9 hatch.
