Previous pic is the only good one. Difficult to focus, too much small for my camera.

I don't know anyone who may have in indoor tank. It can be obtained at garden pond.

That's the one million dollar question. I'm agree with you, larvae survival problem is food. We tried everything: commercial food, green water, dried egg yolk, mud and plants collected at wild shrimps location... nothing works. My opinion: Larvae eat something live that cannot survive under artificial light.

The outsiders: smaller life forms that enter with wood or plants collected in the wild. No problem, they help to mature the tank:
