The multibar angelfish are still going strong. By this weekend, they should start to resemble angelfish :)

Woah, this sounds really cool! I can't wait to see what comes of this project!

Any updates on this, Chad? :)

We are ramping up copepod production in preparation of our next larval run. Our copepods skipped a day on our last batch and we lost nearly all the larvae. Surprisingly, we've got about 20 larvae that have fed on only rotifers for the past week. Once our copepod cultures are at full capacity, we'll start up a new batch of angels.

Can you elaborate on your copepod culture setup?

Pictures of the 20 fry if they are still alive?

The multibar angels are being bundled into our Bellus angel breeding. I'm currently collecting eggs to begin another larval run starting tomorrow. We had a copepod shortage in our last larval run that caused us to fail, but we have since built up our copepod population to better handle a larval run.
For now, keep updated over on this thread here - https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bellus-angelfish-breeding-project.319243/
While we are raising bellus angels, don't be surprised to see some multibar show up at settlement. :)
