And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

FuEl Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Having larvae is one thing, getting the larvae to metamorphose into a fish is another. For red heads I believe it will take around a month, about a week longer than dottybacks. Previous try I got them past 2 weeks but I gave up as they did'nt seem to grow and I only had 2 larvae left. Now I still have easily 100+ larvae estimated and they do seem to be growing. I might have underfed them the previous attempt. I would have used a bigger container for them for less work & less monitoring, but have space constraints at the moment so got to make do with what I have. Apologies for the poor quality pic but it is hard to take photos of larvae that small without a microscope to magnify them.

FuEl Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 No need to anticipate so much..make me very stress for results. Even if I get fish out of these larvae, from what I read they need about 6-7 months to be big enough for most tanks.
