I just have a colony of cyclops in a tank and didn't know they were there until last week.

Daily updates will be posted on the little fellers

Loss=0
Age: 1 day
size:~ between 1/8 and 1/4 inch
food: Cyclops starting tomorrow


- Will put into a 20 gallon wide tank and use it for the various larval stages this Wednesday. NO sand on the bottom plexiglass dividers and strainers to keep younger from going intop the older babies' area. Filter will be protected so the little guys can't get sucked in. I darkened the sides on their on tank and have a single beam of light going into the tank so When I feeds them cyclops they can find them easily. In 13 days they will metamorphose and will be sold/traded to some places/people about a month or two from now.
