![]() ha ha....
I'm using a Nikon D40 just on the macro setting, it's the lens that came with it. Pretty much everything set to auto. They have not attacked me yet! I'm pretty suprised actually, they are still mellow, I like to feed my fish by hand. We'll see if that changes!! At what point do people usually take the fry out to raise them? (before or after hatching) It's SO tempting but I really doubt my local LFS has a rotifer culture lol... Who am I kidding, I don't have the time!! |

![]() You have to take them out just before they hatch or you can siphon them before they end up in your sump. Then aerate them until they hatch that night. I have 3 mated pairs but am still waiting for eggs.
![]() Keep an eye out when they turn silvery they should hatch that night.

![]() Cool! I don't run a sump on this tank but no doubt they will be sucked into various PHs and hungry mouths.
Maybe next time I'll just bring 'em to you ![]() |

![]() Well, it seems like my LMB was less of a voyeur and more of a gourmand... Half of the eggs are missing and I'm blaming the biggest pig in the tank!! It's still pretty neat tho, even in just one day the eggs look different, more oval

![]() S.D.
![]() Half of the eggs are left, mom and dad are very attentive of them, cleaning and fanning and poring over but not aggressive at all, I put my hand in beside with no problems so the eggs will likely be all gone soon, still neat to see. I still suck with the camera but I still haven't read the booklet either lol ![]() I'm glad your system is finally up and running!! I look forward to pics and seeing it in person sometime!! |

![]() Today: (Day 6)
The # went down to 31 after the first night and these are them...little boobly eyeballs 'n all!! ![]() ![]() ....anyone know where to get rotifers in the future? It kinda breaks my heart a little to know they'll get eaten, even if I take them out I don't have anything to feed them. |

![]() So the eggs dissapeared on night 7 (hatched and eaten I'm assuming) and now, a couple of days later there are MORE than ever! Is this going to keep happening over and over? Is it ok for the fish?
