What kind of tube should be used to transfer larvae? I looked through the forum topics and didn't come across a thread on this....but maybe I missed it

I use a long regular drinking straw to transfer larvae or you can use a tube. You can use a tube with food trick for post larvae to adults since they are too smart. :)

Odin uses a nice shrimp catcher for larvae.

Below is the video for catching post larvae to adults.

The secret is to feed them so they are concentrating on eating.
