Fry Count:

| Fry Size: |
approx 8mm |
| Food: |
Newly hatched brine shrimp + brine shrimp enriched with Nannochloropsis |
| Feeding Schedule: |
3 times per day |
Fry Description:
(Pre Settlement) |
Similar to the parents, although largely transparent except for the black pigment - large egg sack. |
Fry Description:
(Post Settlement) |
Egg sack fully absorbed. Much more adventurous within the rearing 'tank'. |
| Other Details |
| Other Information: |
The fry was raised in a seperate 'tank' made out of a fruit juice bottle located in my main display tank. The sides of the bottle were cut out and covered in a 50 micron mesh to aid water flow but still retain the brine shrimp.
I am deeming the settlement date to be the date the egg sac was fully absorbed. |
