[Aqua Pro Builder]

I wish you can raise them; I wonder what their color will be.

Tonight i witness my first hatching. This was the 3rd set of eggs laid. I do not believe the 1st batch lived, i was away for the 2nd, but i have a few pics from this one! Pics to follow.

12:35 the eggs started to pop.

Take lots of pics please. I am so eager to see what colors are the offsprings.

When they are first born, they all pretty much look the same. Kinda transparent, and you can see their big eyes are their guts. By next few days while they developing the nerves, they'll get darker and darker. When it's about to go into metamorphosis, the first bands would start to show up. At that point, it'll start to see the different because of the bands. Then the other color comes next. Regardless, it would be great to post picture everyday to share to everyone to see.

Oh wait! He said he was going to give it to someone to raise them. But from reading his last post, i don't think he was trying to collect the larvae.

 

[Aqua Pro Builder]

Rookie, please collect them.
When my live cultures are stable to support both the fresh water babies and saltwater babies(currently my priority is on FW Glofish babies-trying to make new colors.) I can try raising them for you if no one else is.

I probably will start conditioning my odd pairs soon. I had an OCs and a B/W pair, a Snowflakes and B/W going too. Hope they are in mood soon when I start to condition them.

Yea, I wouldn't mind help raise them as well, if you need any help.
