Eileen Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 If you ever get in a bind again with the larvae, just let me know. I probably don't live as close as your friend, but they should be able to survive a ride down here. I could babysit for you! Link to comment

I hope with my next O / Snow next week that I pull at least 3 digits - but I would be happy with numbers like yours right now. Link to comment
ericm1205 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 could you esplain your setup on your fry tank? i was wondering why you have a bulkhead and an overflow in the middle of the tank. do you have one of those recirc systems that i read about on mofib ? Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Right now its not setup as a recirc system. Pumps is on the way though. I was away on vacation for a week so I had to make it easy for my friend to take care of them. Its much easier to drip fresh salt water in and no have to worry about siphoning the tank until I was home. It seems to be working since I only lost 3 so far and I also keep a either screen under the drain so I can collect the rotifers and not waist them. Tonight will be the big test when I sit the lights off for the first time. also the sides are blacked out all around and when I get the pump the heater will be moved to the sump so the only thingin the tank with be the temp probe.

rrcg50 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 first snocasso baby is starting to get its stripes. today will be the first day with lights out also. hoping everything goes well Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 first snocasso baby is starting to get its stripes. today will be the first day with lights out also. hoping everything goes well How old are they now? About 10 days? I'm just trying to figure out how far away I am from seeing color. Also do you see funky head bands right away? The reason I ask is that a normal clown get's the head band first and then the rest of the stripes develop as they mature. I would think that something that has much more white would show a lot of white or an odd pattern to the head band right away. Link to comment

I would think that something that has much more white would show a lot of white or an odd pattern to the head band right away. its hard to explain but there color overall is different. when they are going to be platiniums there color almost looks a little gray. hardly orange at all. the head bands usually start to form normally but show up with dots near the eyes and that forms the "helemet look". other than that after 3 to four weeks the stripes are in but still will develop more. can easily determine what they will be from that point on Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 That's really interesting - because that's how I'd describe my fry right now - just a bunch of grey ghosts is what I've been calling them. Link to comment
