| Other Information: |
Eggs are removed prior to hatch to the larvae tank. The larvae tank has water from the brood stock system. An air stone is used to bubble the eggs. I turn all the lights off and leave the room dark for a couple of hours. I come back and see if they hatched. Typically they all hatch within 2 hours after the lights turn off. I then turn the lights on and feed rotifers. |
