yup and thats only about half of them too!  i have decided than instead of netting them, i will just use the cravel vacuum and suck them up then move them and clean the tank. and then after i can count them  |

the tube is big and they are very small. the most they will deal with the the current. i am planing to make the water go in a square container so its not like a whirlpool. it would be easier than netting them for 2 hours!

wall last time i separated them in 5 cups and i kept making sure that i have the same # in each. it took 2 hours with a friend helping i just vacuumed all the babies and i counted some, i got to about 100 and gave up, there is about 150-200, i have a pic of them all together tomorrow. i will probably also get a pic of them in their 28 quart container. they will be kept there until they are a little bigger. bigger baby=more food for other babies. i have someone in canada who want to get some! so i think because theyre closer i will attempt to ship to them. and depending on how that goes i might ship to that guy in texas that wanted some  |
