New spawn. Lost all of the larvae from the last hatch because I did't have any bbs ready for them. I'll be ready for the next round. I also have less larvae from the older hatch because I accidentally dropped and spilled the kreisel when I was transferring the larvae to a new, clean kreisel. It was slimy and had algae all over it and I had a bad grip on it. I'll always be more careful from now on though. Guess this stuff just happens sometimes :/.

Day 46. I don't have any new pics because I am down to about 3 and don't want to risk hurting any of them. These few may be behind because they are smaller and don't have antennae yet (or they may have just broke off). I lost a few because the salinity snuck up on me one day when I left the lid open.

I should try that although I DO have two hatcheries which alternate days so I USUALLY have fresh bbs every day no matter what. Sometimes I forget to start a culture once in a while though.

Day 50. Still don't want to risk hurting the remaining three by trying to remove them to take pics. I might try to get pics with my DSLR but with them spinning around in the kreisel it makes it a bit difficult. One is bigger, one is smaller, and one is in-between in terms of size. The biggest one seemed to have molted yesterday and looked like he was eating his molt. I have been doing daily water changes and of course feedings and the bbs density is always much more sparse by every night. I know some of the bbs are dying because I suck out the build up of "dirt" in the kreisel every day but they have to be eating them too.

53 Days. Lost the last one yesterday (he disappeared) and wanted to wait till today to call it. Guess I'll be trying again next time. And next time I'm going to do water changes with new saltwater rather than from the display tank and also I will be topping off twice a day instead of once a day. Kinda bummed cause I feel like I was close. I mean I kept the things alive in the larval stage for a long time in my books.

Dang it. Sorry to hear. Keep at it, though. It's good that you have a new direction in mind for the next run.

Hey Man, 53 days is awesome. You MUST keep with this, because trust me, persistence WILL pay off, and when it does...think "CORAL Magazine"

Unfortunately I fell ill yesterday and was unable to prepare for the hatch which I wasn't even expecting until today so I will have to prepare for the next one. It's happening though. I know I can do it if I got them that far already.

New hatch! 6/26/2013 11:30 PM. I was ready this time. They are in a kreisel with bbs newly hatched and I have three hatcheries alternating days so I will ALWAYS have fresh bbs everyday with leftovers from another hatchery if one somehow fails. Also I will be doing 2+ water changes per day with fresh SW instead of tank water. It's happening this time! If I got to 53 days last time with all my stupid mishaps, I know I can do it this time. Plus I have altolamprologus' help this time.
