Will be following with interest, I've never managed to raise the larvae but have been meaning to make a proper attempt for years.
Good luck! 🙂

Hi Thanks
touch wood nothing bad happen
day 6
all zoe's seems to be okay I've noticed some of them have black/brown heads they're close to the bottom and probably feed there
today or tomorrow I'll check if there's any No2/No3
on day 15 im planning to do 20% water change (if they're still alive)
pictures are not best quality but if you zoom you can see them

Hi Everyone
quick update
day 21
lots of zoe's still alive later I'll post some pic/video
salanity 34 ppm
temp 23 degrees
I'm planing to increase temp to 25-26 degrees as it might speed up zoe's growth, started to grow phytoplankton Nannochloropsis Sp, got 8 berried amanos which are kept in separate tank
Cheers!!!

Just a thought on temp mate. If they're doing fine I wouldn't change anything. It just might be the thing you wish you never done at this stage.

Ahh OK, thought it was already heated and you were going to crank it up.

The density of normal salt is just over 2 sg, so your salinity will be slightly higher when you use that formulation.
video day 22 below (watch on yt with max resolution )
Yesterday I've made 5l water change next week planing to make up to 8l so i can see them better
most of the zoe's are attracted to light but some stay away and just feeding on the bottom
started adding spirulina small amounts
temp 25 degree Celsius
salanity 32-33 ppm

Going well mate, how many do you reckon you have in there?
i would say over 200 but it's hard to see them all as they're spread across the bottom and not all of them are lured by light
Hi Everyone
So today is day 31 for my zoe's, good news is that they're still alive bad is that some of them didn't make it.
I've stopped feeding them as I assumed they fed on the bottom (this might be the cause ) other than that I did 5l water change (apx 45%) so with next batch I'll do 20% water change every 5 days
water temp - 25 degree Celsius
salanity - 33 ppm
any time I'm expecting at least 5 zoe's to morph as they're visibly bigger than the rest
Regarding my berried amanos from 8 only 3 still have bellies full of eggs (they should release them by the end of the month ) remaining 5 dropped them all so they're back to the main tank
short video below (later today I'll try to make better o one)
Cheers to everyone who's still reading this jurnal 🙂

Nice one, at what point do you start converting to freshwater and how are you planning on going about it with them all at different stages?
I saw on the videos that complete shrimps start to move like crazy as (I assume) they get burned from salty water. In the nature probably they start to swim towards to fresh water current.
This is crazy
