After a 3 day break in spawning I got over 100 eggs last night and 80-90 pro-larva hatched today. I put 20 eggs into a 1 gallon glass jar with 2 ltrs of tank water which had been boiled for 6 minutes in the microwave then allowed to cool overnight. Then added enough nanno to heavy tint the water green. I also put this jar in the direct sun for 5 hours today. The pro-larva in the jar are just as active as the ones in the breeding tank holder.
I want to see if the direct sun for several hours a day changes the results.
More results to follow as they occure.

Reason: 3 days not 2 days break in spawning
