IN the bag!!! Yeah, if you get hatch, settlement and 60 DPS, you'll have an invite to write about it for CORAL LOL...but you'll need print worthy pictures for print (maybe we team up with a good photographer). And you'd have to get a pair and spawn them once to get that missing piece of the puzzle!

Oh and you can rear mandarins on only rotifers..it just doesn't work well and you don't get many. But if they're eating them.... You might be our first Class D report too... Not offering any pods like Parvo?

Oh, Honey, I'm offering the kitchen sink! Parvo, ciliates, apocyclops, euterpina, tisbe, (brine shrimp, not on purpose), and two sizes of rotifers in the Tub1, just the small ones in Tub2 from which these pictures came. Remember NicoleC? "Don't count your gobies until they metamorphosize…"

Just one other note: I have some in tub 1 as well. From the flashlight, the eyes don't reflect light, and the larvae are opaque, not clear. They look white, but they dart at food, and apparantly, live. Life is beautiful.

Wow, this is awesome! And you mentioned the owner of the broodstock pair had some larvae survive to 9 days in a simple container & nothing else? Maybe these little things will show us that the KISS principle still applies! Meanwhile, my ruby reds still refuse to spawn...... I'll be following close, this is the proverbial nail biter!

I get these details wrong sometimes. I am not sure of the 9 days data. I need to confirm with the owner. edit: got info from owner/breeder. They live 6 days. All dead on day 7

I could only fine one in tub2 today, none in tub1. I only need one... The larva in tub2 does this cute thing where it will dart at food, and then curl and change direction. It is opaque and pink-ish by the light of my flashlight.

Is it possible to see what it is he's choosing to eat out of the soup? Or at least determine if its copepod or rotifer?

no. can't tell. even with a microscope. Can't even find him today. He might still be alive, though. I'll keep the tub going for a few more days. Maybe he'll turn up.

I don't think any lived past 6 days, which is the record for anyone as far as I know. Not sure if it is the starvation day either at 78F.

Friend Tom Priscu gave me eggs tonight. We met at a LFS and kept them from closing while I got a pair of ruby reds of my own, and he got a mandarin, the biggest one I've ever seen. Rubys are acclimating right now. Eggs are hatching. I'll put the larvae in with the damsels in the pickle jar, since I'm feeding it what I would be feeding the ruby larvae. Tom's pair seem to spawn every night. He gave me eggs(dead) and larvae(live) from August 4 and eggs from August 5. I'll have to acclimate the hatchlings to the pretzel jar. very excited to have a pair of my own.

I ended up putting the larvae and unhatched eggs in a 1 liter jar of their own with some of the water, phyto and pods from the damsel pretzel jar They weill acclimate overnight and then this morning I will transfer the live ones to the damsel jar.
