Just found some bloodworm eggs. Looks like I'm going to have F3 generation. I know a local fish breeder who has a lot of tanks so it looks like I'm going to have some space for experimenting. lol

I'll update when I get this successful.

Is anyone good at identifying species of Chironomid? It turns out its some kind of green midge fly. But there are some that are brown. I thought they were mosquitoes but I think they are males. This morning I found my bucket swarming with blood worms again. I don't think they are F3 generation though. The eggs may have hatched but they shouldn't have grown to this size already. Perhaps some delayed bloodworms from F2?

Thanks

I'm trying to get a proper id on these guys. Had a few escapes. They can be pretty annoying.
