| Other Information: |
I ended up getting home late and the eggs had already hatched by then. Since I expected to be home before the hatch I did not shut off the flow through the tank and all the fry had gone over into the sump. I ended up siphoning many out and then finally resorted to use a brine shrimp net to get most of them out. All in all I was probably able to pull out about 1000 fry. |
