I don't get it.. why would a light work.. should I keep the lights off when growing them? To me the logic in this is shining a light at a cow to get leather for my boots...

<sighs> What if They were in light to begin with? argh...

thanks for the link!

Attracted to light - they'll flock to it...

Update: Day 10.
 

Day 10: Their markings are starting to show... black splotches like daddy are all over their bodies.They are about the size of a grain of rice... look like transparent pacman heads on guppy bodies... TOO CUTE...

- eating Ground up brine and BBS.

Around 30 of them left now, none have died for the last 3 days. I think the morts have ceased for now.

FOOD:
Note: Egg yolk works but its REALLY REALLY MESSY. I wouldn't feed it in anything less than a 20g and like Andy said (i should have listened) water change RIGHT AWAY..

Shaving brine off a block works really well.

Day 19...
 

It's day 19 and the fish are starting to become afraid of me.. before they had no fears and always swam in the light. Now they seem much more aware and swim away from the front of the tank when I approach..

They also seem a bit yellow... wonder if I need to change their diet... BBS, Brine, Bloodworm at this point...

Way too early for bloodworms... BBS only for the first 3 weeks, then start giving them a bit of crushed flake on one of the "starving" feedings (the one first thing in the morning, or when you get home from work etc). I like to feed a mix of cyclopeeze and agrian (cyclopeeze remains constant - the other flake is just filler).

Bloodworms etc - come once they're between pea/dime sized. until then, your best bet is BBS and a crushed flake.
