| Other Information: |
Settlement occurred inside the small breeding net inside 30g broodstock tank upon release from the male's mouth.
Over the 2 day release, 40 live fry were collected and moved to growout. Upon cleaning the breeders net, 1 dead fry was found. I have considered this as a loss during settlement, hence the difference between the hatch and settlement counts. |
