Found this video of someone feeding with this product.

Looks a little like brine shrimp. The adult lohena will turn into a hunting predator when transferring live brine shrimp. Quite fun to watch :

Need to see this myself. ;)

I use this round hobby brand brine shrimp hatching device. Very easy, fill up brackish water , two small spoon of brine shrimp eggs and after a day they hatch and swim to above the scooper in the middle, take the scooper which would catch the brine shrimp and transfer them into a small container with some brackish water. From there feed the lohena. Keep the remaining brine shrimp in the container in the fridge. Last a few weeks. I feed them mikrozell drip to keep them alive in the fridge.

Cool Thanks.

I’ve only had my M/L’s for a short time and it just occurred to me, how the heck does the male get close enough to the females to fertilize their eggs. Mine move around all the time but once two of them get close to each other they become startled and dart away from each other. Just wondering.

Nature doing it’s thing. I assume similar to Opae ula, once the female molts it attracts the male. I gave the analogy of taking off clothes = molt : )
