I suppose I could make a hatch report, but they mostly had hatched before Tom Priscu gifted them to me. Interesting larvae.

Keep trying!
 
I have three dwarf angel pairs. Rearing larvae is becoming more and more doable. 
 
I am following!
 
Keep us posted on any new developments.
 
Do you have any videos of them rising and spawning? I would like to see that.
 
Thanks
