alls still ok lost around 10 but hopefully this is usual, having a bit more trouble breeding bbs at the minute "poor hatches",
seems most of the shop bought stuff is either old stock or poor quallity, i ordered some more diect from the internet today lets pray these are better.
also started a batch of thai fairy i had of Kel today so fingers crossed on those, i would much prefer to be feeding salt less shrimp anyhow.

yes they are hard work lol but its fun watching them grow, i'm sure they will be fine while i'm away as the waters in real good condition still so even a little overfeeding should be fine as i can deal with that when i get back friday.
i have prepared a spare tank with well seasoned water in the ready.

hint on colour outcome... those with the black line running from eye... they gonna be dark coloured.. prob get most mums colour or red....but i do hope you get a few orange one's like dad though!
Can't wait to see them start to colour up in a few weeks... although nice big bellies are always great to see in any spawn!
