Actually this is about 5% of the whole batch,
i just took home some eggs to have in an aquarium
the rest of them i hold in 10 ,150 gallon tanks in a recirculating system
i will add photos of that setup as well.
my first goals is to actually make them grow as it is quite difficult to raise all of them.
some died (very few) because they just did not start eating the live artemia.
the next 20 days are critical.
and yes if i can keep them alive i will export as well.
i just don't want to count my money before i get to that point.

now that they are swimming its a lot harder to take photos.
but I'll keep trying to update daily so you can see the growth rate.
which is very fast!!
this is my first time and I'm still learning as I go .
any advise is off coarse welcome as well
