Mine worked fine. If you can't get anything but dried, maybe set up a few, in case only one batch actually hatches?

Hi,
Yes they are handy, usually they work.... But Martin is right - please, don´t just rely on one source of infusoria... not when you have C. irrubesco fry!
The pictures are awesome! Did you just use a normal marco lens (plus flash etc.) or something to enhance the magnification ... like spacer rings or an additional close up lens?
Last week we managed to tape the
courtship of Carinotetraodon irrubesco. Our 2 Irrubesco males are usually quite nasty ... so it was a surprise to see the male following the female through the tank, but we never exspected them to "dance".
What's the size of the fry/spawn?
Regards,
Andy
