Caridina japonica - breeding Vol.2

Through building and maintaining beautiful nature aquaria people re-learn the intricate connections between forms of life, plants, fish, microorganism and humans. Riches and beauty come from harmony, from balance. Aquaria are great teachers of this truth. TAKASHI AMANO

The 20th day, collapse!

There are just a few zoeas floating. The majority died off in the last two days. I am not sure what was the problem this time.
I was looking forward to raising Amanos. I will probably try breeding Amanos next year again (will rest from them a bit). Instead I will try to breed less demanding species like Neocaridina denticulata sinensis-red and some other nicely colored Caridina/Neocaridina species, that desire no marine/brackish condition for rising the young.
