18-20 of them? Nice! I knew they give extras but didn't know that much extra. Have fun! It's the weekend! :tongue:

You might have a hard time finding them once you put it in your tank with hiding places. Now is a good time to see them all together.

I feel sorry for the Seldom Opae ula in the tank that came with the alphas lol, it traveled all the way with them so I just poured the whole bowl of shrimp into the tank :tongue:

Odin, that book I mentioned talked about Metabetaeus Lohena in great detailed. It mentioned Opae Ula's larvae are larger in size and has a bigger yolk sac then M.L.. The larvae of M.L. must feed to grow since it has a smaller yolk sac and leaves the anchialine pool to return to the ocean to complete their development which is longer than opae ula. It says attempts to raise the larvae in captivity failed. :sad2:

I was watching this which i believe are the people who wrote the book? im not 100% sure but, at 2:30 they discuss that the alpha's migrate to the open ocean and eat plankton and zooplankton.
