Notes:
I'm slowly going to try to step down on the Excel. This week, I will reduce the daily dosage from 5x to 4x overdose. There is not too much algae in the tank right now.

You can see the breeding net cage in the tank. Since the fry are still not swimming free, I just put them in a cup in the beeding net so I can easily lift them out of the tank for closer inspection.

A picture of a clump of fry all wriggling and sticking together. Today, their eyes have developed. Tomorrow, some of them should start swimming free.

A closeup of one of the fry. The yolk sack is shrinking steadily as the fry develops. The picture is a bit fuzzy, but if you look closely, you can even make out the vertebrae.
