I harvested my BBS Baby Brine Shrimp..they hatched today at around 11am..I fed them a syringe full into their tank...The are darting at it, but they are so small that I cant tell if they are eating it not..
I moved Dad into the main tank into a plastic container ful of holes.It is clamped on the side..The mom can see him and is bumping the sides trying to get at him..

Good Morning friends..
Well happy to report the kids are doing fannnntastic..they are swimming around in the urchin ..no one is near the bottom..ohhh I am sooo relieved..so I still have 2 , and dads mouth is still loaded..
I am soo excoted I went and picked up my new 90 gallon setup last night..I was supposed to get a 150, but I figured it was to heavy for my main floor, so I went shopping and bought the 90 gallon...
I was thinking instead of running all 3 tanks here at home, maybe I would run the 10, and after awhile grow them out in the sump/fuge?..Would they be stong enough not to be sucked up by the pump?..but I am thinking they wouldnt be able to be pulled thru all the baffles..
This way I could house the dad in the 10 each time he is holding around day 18 or so..could they be fed bbs in a sump?..just wondering if the bbs would be to spread out for them to eat in a sump..

ok top up all done, and lights are on...
He is still laying on his side on bottom, but I can see him breathing..is it the egg sac that keeps them from swimming around?..I bred cichlids for years but they never had this sac so I know nothing about this part
