ChongYu, Eman,
Thanks for the compliment.
I wasn't exactly sure how long she held the eggs, but from
the day I took noticed it was 12 days.
My friend commented that she may have held it for 3 weeks at least
because when the fries came out they were slightly bigger than 1 cm.

yixiang, bbpippen,
Thanks. Raising fries always require extra effort, this is my first batch of Lepto fries, so will be extra vigilant.

these lepo fries are actually quite easy to raise given constant good water....
i am currently raising my batch of malasia, utinta & kekese
the only complain is that they grow too slow lah
Zack,
Thanks.
Joe,
Thanks for the tips. You got so many batches of fries? Wow.
