Sorry I can’t focus the Camera well as they are tiny and transparent. I get an error when I try to upload the video file from my iOS device

Best shot

Oh wow they look great, I’ve never seen any larvae in my tank unfortunately. Lots of berried females though!

Awesome. Can you put up a pic of your tank? Do you live near the ocean?

Odin, you need to remove the berried female into a separate breeder tank because adult alphas eat the larvae. They love live food. I feed them live baby brine shrimp and they are all gone within 24 hours. In my breeder tank I have a small breeding box with small slots so the larvae can escape from the mother.

Ok I’ll take a couple of shots of my breeder tank when I get back home later. I move the larvae from the breeder tank into a large 7 litre food plastic container. The reason is because all the larvae have died in the past and it’s easier to move and clean the food container. I stay on a small hill in Singapore

This is the 11 litre tank where my alphas live

This is the breeder tank with the breeder box floating in it. There is currently one berried alpha hiding behind the marimo ball in the box

This is the 7 litre plastic food container larvae tank I currently use to house the alpha larvae

Looks very practical, I wasn’t aware they ate their young as rampant as that.. I thought I’d at least see some the next day or there abouts lol.
