For the last few night, i stay up late with phone on my hand waiting for my female CBS to release her larvae. Tonight she did it! I captured some larvae and put in the sump to see if they can grow or not. She will shed her skeleton and carry another batch later tonight. Enjoys!

Great. I doubt they will grow but I wish they did. They spawn every few weeks but I have never heard of any of them surviving. Never did in my tank but I also don't have a sump. Maybe you will be the first. :)

Well, 18 days later and another spawning occurs. There is hundreds of larvae released. I collected some and placed them in 5 gal. I also add some phyto to the tank. Time to order some pods and rotifers. Anyone know where can i order rotifers?
