First Food: |
L-type rotifers. TDO A added on day 3. Rotifers tapered off towards meta as larvae as seen eating TDO A. |
Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
4 mm including the little clear tail fin. Big head, yellow belly area, and tiny little tails. Big silver eyes, big mouths. Larvae move in a fluttering and darting motion. Larvae turned orange around day 3 which is much quicker than my Occelaris which don't turn orange until meta. |
