update

These larvea are eating well on rotifers. many of them are nice and fat. I have been talking to Matthew Wittenrich about them and he has had success with them by feeding a varied diet and enriching the rotifers. it all makes sence if you think about it.

The larvae have developed a caudal fin that i can tell and pectoral fins i'll try to get some pics up

Very cool! Keep up the good work!!!

surfzone · 09-22-2008, 03:25 PM

today is day 7 and i have about 50 to 75 larvae left and they are all fat. i have been supplementing their rotifer intake with wild plankton that i have been collecting in the creeks in the area.

bratyboy2 · 09-22-2008, 05:45 PM

this is amazing!!!!! can you put me on the list to purchase one?

seafansar · 09-22-2008, 07:49 PM

That's great! Yeah put me on a list for one too! lol. I just got "The Complete Illustrated Breeder's Guide to Marine Aquarium Fishes" today. I'm hoping to breed my neon gobies. I hope I have as good of luck as you have!

sandyc · 09-22-2008, 09:41 PM

If you are starting a list I am in!

surfzone · 09-22-2008, 11:03 PM

right now there isnt really a list that i have been keeping of ppl who want one. big focus is to get these guys past metamorphosis. once there then "the list" will start. not to mention the LFS in the area, once they found out why i have been buying all the DTs lately, asked if they could get some too. however, its like i said metamorphosis first list later.

slysock · 09-22-2008, 11:10 PM

so, what are you going to keep them? are they in a separate place, or are they in a sectioned off place of your tank. it would be great to see more pictures!!!!

surfzone · 09-22-2008, 11:32 PM

right now they are in a 1 gallon fish bowl that is sitting in a 5 gallon tank that is painted black on all sides but one.

Here are a few pics of the 7 day old larvae

slysock · 09-23-2008, 02:38 AM

prow · 09-23-2008, 09:25 AM

so far so good, i really hope they grow up. have you seen them take to any foods yet??

surfzone · 09-23-2008, 10:41 AM

they eat the rotifers and just about what ever else fits seems like

sandyc · 09-23-2008, 11:59 AM
