They hatched! I am getting Cuttled for Christmas! Really, I was planning on another form of cuddling, this is an added bonus!
But, I am a bit worried about them. The eggs never got lighter, they are still very black. Did they hatch premature?
Also, how delicate are they? I want to move them into another nursery, to be able to keep tiny food near them. Can I use a turkey baster like I do with seahorse fry? Or should I try to get them into a large ladle? Big spoon thing?
I was planning on using smaller copepods than I have now, A tonsa, a calanoid copepod but the person I am attempting to get them from hasn't shipped them yet. Poor planning on my part. I do have the larger copepod T californius or Tiggerpods. Fingers crossed these are small enough? I have 8 buckets of them!
