After 2 smaller spawns, the regular group of producers spawned right on target. Basically May 1 is their day. And just like last year, the orgy lasted all day.
I harvested the eggs and this time instead of going into my nursery aquariums I am using a 156 gallon tote and raising them outside. I think this is going to be a lot less time consuming and as they grow, I will move them indoors when it is time to start thinning out the crop.
They started hatching on the 4th day this year. I waited until the 7th day to remove all the string algae the eggs were in.
Today, there are thousands of them, mostly so small you can barely see them.
I have the brine shrimp hatcheries going 24/7 and I harvest daily. It takes 48 hours for the brine shrimp to hatch, so I have 2 hatcheries going now.
