One of the females’ eggs have been hatching, a few a day, for several days. Today, at last, all the rest hatched in a lump. I returned both grown-ups to their home, strained the contents of the bowl through a fine-mesh net and rinsed the net out into a cup of fresh water, pictured above. (Can you see the zoes in the water? I can’t. There are some microscopic close-ups below.)
Then I divided the larvae among the three tanks. I’d guess there are around 100 per tank, but it’s very hard to tell.
Anyway, now that the salt-water tanks are populated, it’s time for me to go on vacation.
