Thank you, Kevin, – so now they have a name ‘rafts’ 🙂
And thats really interesting, Peter, what Bernd have told you, – in fact in may have been him that gave me the tip long time ago. But I never heard about putting them in the fridge, that must be tried of course.
Of course, I was thinking yesterday that if you leave them in whatever bucket or container you have, they will develop there as well for you to catch, – and I do also get lots o small by just using the net, but often then also get a lot of other things along, leaves etc. So I found it a lot easier to have them seperated.
I once put one in the tank, the only thing that wasnt so good about this, was that the fish probably ate the tiny larvaes before they were so big that I could actually see them, so it was hard to tell what happened 🙂
When they just hatch they are in a way almost too small for adult fish and you get too little ‘value’ out of it 🙂
