Beautiful. Great work, Leo. How big would you say your bloodstock are? Mine are much larger than the average 1" or so picturatus I've seen. They are both larger than both of my splendidus. My male is easily 2" and my female is maybe a couple of mm shorter. I'm hoping their larger size yields more eggs. My only concern is that they may be old already.

My male is about 2'', while the female is much smaller; in fact when she carries eggs, she seems to be a little ball  when I bought this pair, they were very small and thin, but as soon as they began to eat frozen food and pellets, they became two fat fishes

In these last months, I had about 3 spawn every week, but I only tried to change water conditions: for example I tried to breed in clear water (no GW) and I added a minimum water flow, but I didn't have any bigger success. I found the S-strain rotifers and I started a colture of ciliates (euplotes), so next week I'll try again.

Do you plan to do anything special to the ciliates before feeding them to the larvae? Any particular enrichment?

I breed ciliates in phytoplankton (isochrysis, chaetoceros and nannochloropsis), so I hope it's enough to enrich
