One week old today. Things had been going well. They are growing. I can see a lot more detail to them a week later. But they started to disappear. Last night was the first night I left the lights off. And this morning I can only find about 20 of them. They have been hiding in the plants ...

I did a head count today. Looks like everybody still there for the most part. I can easily count over 100. Then I noticed that some of them look different. They're no longer little floaters just hanging around. Now they look more like a backwards Z with a hook at the bottom. And as I was ...

Floaters
We have floaters!
May 31
Moved two pregnant females into the 7 gallon tank. Temperature stable at 80 degrees. They didn't mind moving. They loved being in a tank filled with live food and quickly decimated my plankton population. And refused to eat anything else.

Little update:
My first mommy is due tonight. But due to techincal difficulties I didn't get her moved. I've had heater problems and had to play musical heaters to find one that worked in that little tank. My next two females are due on June 2nd and 3rd. If the temperature holds I'll move them in a ...

Thanks Andrew, That's a Pentax DSLR. I went that way because I had a some really good Pentax 35mm lens that I didn't want to give up. Despite all the glass I have, I've never owned a macro lens.
