Hi there,

One of my Yamato hatched about 200+ larvae yesterday evening . Hence, would like to pull some experiences from the forumers !

I've read Mike Noren's article and intend to follow his approach in rearing the larvae. This is what I've so far:

• Tank: 5L round gold-fish tank; half filled.
  Water: Collected from a river mouth leading to sea during high tide, guesstimate 60-70% salt water; filtered with fish net.
  Aeration: Airstone with reduced flow.
  Lighting: Reflected light from a 40W PL.
  Temp: Room (28C - 30C).

I'd like to hear the experiences from those who've tried rearing the larvae to adult shrimps. All advice are welcomed !!

Besides, how important is the lighting for the larvae growth ? And, I presume aeration is a plus but not necessary.

Thank you very much...
