Ok good thing this is my thread because I"m going in circles....

I have found at least 1 bella baby in my plankton soup trial container. I think I saw maybe 2 more.

They were hatched 5/10 so that is 9 dph?

I'm torn. The soup has tisbe pods which I have personally watched attack dragonette larva and kill it. The bellas are a little bigger now but not sure they are big enough to avoid tisbe predidation. The soup has rots, bbs, tisbe pods, apex pods. The ammonia means I have to adjust it some.

I could also pull out the larva I see and put them in with just some rots, apex pods. I also know every time I try to change something in the early part of the process it seems to back fire and kill the larva.

So any opinions? Leave them in the soup while adjusting the water parameters or pull them out.
