We scooped 3 more Zoea again, and we are going to change the water this morning (10:50am).

-During the water change, we noticed that the berried Amano, no longer had as many eggs attached to her as before, which would imply that either the larva hatched during night and died at some point or she dropped some of those eggs, which might not have been anywhere near hatching.

-Our first count this morning produced only 5 planktonic larva including the 3 we added. Whether they are dead or not is a mystery at this point.

-We have observed that sometimes the count is small simply because of their size. They are definitely not the easiest bunch to find. At one point we counted only 3, then we continued searching and as we were about to give up, we counted up to 5. Patience is definitely golden!!
