The eyes are where the mouth is, I think XD.
I was looking closely for scuds in hopes that I could get my fish some treats, which is the only reason I spotted them.
I plan to keep them in a jar until they grow just a bit and get big enough to put in the hatchery without them fitting partly through the mesh and maybe getting stuck or getting out and becoming food. Once they get to a little over a half inch, I can put them in my microfish tank to let them grow until I can maybe recognize them.
I plan to put them in my 65g... I'm hoping I have minnows or shiners, not something larger. I may have to rehome them somehow if they're larger than a shiner...
Which do you think would be better for them long-term; a 1.2 gallon tank, or a 6X4" mesh hatchery? They need to get about the size of a microrasbora, then they can go into the biocube.
Does my plan sound plausible, or should I try something else?
I got a look at one from the side. They have pretty gold eyes. They're also incredibly active for something that small... Act just like most small fish.
Hmm... How large are mosquitofish fry, usually? These are so tiny, I'm not sure if they're livebearer fry... Don't livebearers have larger fry most of the time?
