Some helpful tips for raising the larvae:

  • Put some java moss in the tank 
  • Treat the water with water conditioner
  • Change half of the water frequently to ensure a clean environment
  • Feed them regularly (3 to 4 times) with dried brine shrimp powder everyday

Happy baby-sitting the larvae~~~
