Baby brine shrimp are too large for lohena larvae to feed on. I tried it and the larvae ignored the bbs. I am going to try feeding them with infusoria. The tricky bit is cultivating the infusoria without fouling the water. I guess I understand why the alpha adults breed virtually weekly in my tank....the survival rate of the larvae is terribly bad compared to opae ula larvae.

Hey, that algae is no longer there and the snails finished it off, it seems to grow on ocean rock/Texas hokey rock strait after it starts to cycle but when it was eaten it never came back.

A shame really as it looked awesome didn’t it :(

Cool! I don't know much about Meta, just thought they had HUGE claws. Do you mind me asking where your Meta came from?

Roughly 7 years old and still going! I’m not sure if any one else has documented how long the alpha live for but these are still alive :)
