These guys hatched last Friday. There were so many I couldn't get them all in the small larvae snagger. This is day four, keeping fingers crossed.

It's hard to watch over them while I'm at work. I wish I could take them with me .. LOL

Martinismommy

Update:

Larvae Tank:
It day 4 and only a about a dozen have made it this far. That's good news, I usually lose them all by day 3. The survivors are swimming a little better. Not darting so much, like after they first hatch.
