Yeah, I know my fish will eat them :-( I love inverts though, so I feel kinda sad.
As for the light, I believe it's to keep them moving. The larvae are attracted to light, similarly to BBS. Maybe they burn a lot of energy, therefore, requiring them to constantly be feeding. And with light, they'll be always moving and as a result, constantly eating as well. I'm just pulling this out of my arse, but it would be a possibility, no?
Discus, please keep us updated if you follow through on this! I'd love to hear your outcomes and experiences. perhaps it will sway me to raise my pregnant amano's larvae too!
