Hi all,
I just got to see/aquired some Empire Gudgeon fry. Bloddy things
are small. Allmost looks like newly hatched artemia could eat them. Going
to try to pump them up with rotifers and green water. They look about the
size of some of our native goby/sleeper fry in terms of size and
development. Ours get washed out to sea and spend most of larval
development in the marine or estuarine environment. Do you think that the
empires are about the same and may need brackish water for devlopment.
Looking at how wide spread they are I would suspect they might spend some
time at sea...
