Well figure .60 cents a bid with something that goes for $1.50 = $89.40 for them (.60 a bid x 149 bids). Good business plan - albeit with the chance...
So its been a weird couple of days - the first set of eggs have hatched - the other ones finally did yesterday. So what I'm learning from these guys...
A bio-orb would make for a great shrimp tank - 2/3 shrimp with some macroalgae and or a couple of mushrooms would probably work out, and look neat...
The "pod" cube is genius! I'll have to try that. Keep in mind it will only work on those that stay on the ground (harpactiod) where the calanoid...
Rough guess is about 1500-2000 or so eggs. If I can get 1% through Meta (metamorphosis ) thats still 75 or so that make it.
Last shot for the night, they should hatch this evening (well some will - they lay the eggs over the course of a few days). [IMG] The funny thing...
The eggs were put into a black round tub with phyto and A. tonsa copepods. I'd normally try rotifers but these guys are about a third the size of...

Well due to my air stone line crimping there was no oxygen moving over the eggs for at least 12-15 hours - all the eggs have been over taken with...
I pulled the eggs last night - they are in the hatch/grow tank now. If anything the eggs are turning more and more silver as they get ready to pop....
Just a quick count - there are a whole lot of eggs! [IMG]
Best book out there. Easy to read, easy to follow. Just follow the steps point for point, and you'll be ok.
This is the first spawn for these guys, yep! I'll try and get pics as I go along. It is being documented on MBI, once that site gets back up (Server...
Hey Corailline, The male doesn't really do anything with the eggs. He checks on them about once every 10-15 minutes of so. The female could care...
It is a flowerpot indeed Steve! [IMG] Thats poppa looking for food. Yep, the goal is to try to get just one to adult, to complete the life cycle....
