Last week Pudge & Butters laid down a smallish clutch of eggs. This morning at about 4:45 AM the first few swam into the light column created by a mini-maglite attached to the tank. It took us better than 2 hours to collect all the larvae (a few dozen). Since they’re only 1-2mm long and can move really fast I don’t have any photos. Let’s just say they’re awesome.

In the mean time their off to David M’s house to be raised on a fat diet of rotifers. Hopefully they’ll make it. In the mean time we’ll be building up our own little breeding system on the workbench. That’s another thing that makes the workbench so sturdy, err, awesome: we can attach stuff we build onto the back!
