| Other Information: |
H. erectus hitch at birth. They swim freely when hungry and hunting, but hitch when sated. If the lights go out, they all hitch and turn bright pink! NOTE: This Settlement report is from a different brood than the Spawn and Hatch reports for this species. The historical photographic evidence I have for this species is from different broods, and I am providing reports for the events I have the required photographic evidence of. |
