A few of the eggs had hatched and the larvae were swimming to the surface of the water to breath. The instructions had informed us that we needed a food source so we thought that fish food would probably work and as that was all that was available that's what we used. Luckily our larvae loved fish food and grew very quickly.

We often would place larvae on the microscope slide then hook up the microscope to the computer to view the larvae on the screen.

Unfortunately in our first few tries Victoria forgot to raise the viewer before she switched to a more powerful lens and needless to say it was not a pretty site.

In fact Victoria was banned from the microscope until we were certain that she remembered not to squash our larvae but she still squished more larvae.
