Well this is the 7th. day of the larva still in 5 liters. Feeding with artemia and flakes. Bottom cleaned once and saw that many came with the syphon, removed them one by one and put back into 5 liters. Changed water 4 times, 2 liters from the tank they were born, and two liters of fresh salt water, that makes total %80 in first week. Daily stirring the cup slowly to get flakes stay up in the water coloumn. Thinking of a kreisel design or something like a kalk reactor to stir automaticly next time. It' s exciting to see everyline in April' s book come to life in the past week.

I had two more spawns after the first one. First came within 10 days from the bigger individual, she released the youngs at 21:00, 2 hours early with an earthquake reported in my area at the same time. I do not know if earthquake had triggered an early spawn. Two days after, the small one spawned tonight at 23:00 (the same as the first one), i could not guess that both were able to carry fertilized eggs. Suprised. The first larva are still in the 5 liter tank, hope they will make it through the third week.

Death came on 13th.day, not all of them but collected about 9-10 larva out of tank. Possible reasons are: -Added too many nauplii on 12th. day., overfeeding? or possible ammonia. -Skipped water changes for two days. -Underfeeding. I guess they are really vulnerable to bad water conditions, between 12th and 16th day, that may be they have an important molting stage in in those days. Kirkendoll noted that third and fourth week would be easier to manage, hope things turn out well...

Well this is the 26th. day...on the 4th week they actually started grabbing young artemia, here's the shot... I had a huge planaria and copedpod bloom in the 5 liter container because of heavy flake diet, but they dissapeared after sewere water changes.

Tonight they began settlement, it is 36 dph and two three of them went through meta and became very tiny shrimps. I was also able to film the last molting action before settling...

As I posed to you on your reports - it is just as important for me to ask "what do YOU think"? You're the one with the animal in front of you afterall...I'm only the one with access to a photo and some diagnostic tools. Obivously I THINK this is Seticuadata. But what do YOU think?
