| Other Information: |
Hatching improvements made by disinfecting the eggs after collection and before placing in the hatching container. I used about 5 mL of hydrogen peroxide in about 2-3 pints of water for a few minutes. Dip in fresh SW and add to hatching container. Still working out the best method of adding prolarvae to larval tank/food introduction. |
