| Food: |
unidentified copepods, likely cyclopoids |
| Feeding Schedule: |
copepods complete life cycle within larval rearing tub, once established I did not add more copepods. Starvation likely contributed to the low number of settled fish. |
Fry Description:
(Pre Settlement) |
robust aggressive eaters, they would pick copepods off the sides of the BRT |
Fry Description:
(Post Settlement) |
territorial, frequent squabbles, quickly weened to pulverized Formula 1 flake food |
