thank you, thank you! :)

The most of the pictures are done with a microscope cam. I've bought a microscope with a camera. Unfortunately I can't get a complete larvae in one picture. I only can create puzzles ;)

@aussie: I love it, too :) I do not know if this is a girl or a boy. It is tooooooo small too look "under the shell" ;)

nice idea ;)
but unfortunately it is a normal webcam ... which has to be plugged into the lense (?) where you normal look into the microskope. A cam without image enlargement .

hm... but a magnifying glass maybe works!?

Cool picture's myn are not so good :(.
De buubels on your tank going so slow, myn are going very fast but I have just a normal tank, my larvea are going every where, I dont know of this is good but they are still alive.
Its my first time I got larvea,I do not think they are going to stay a live.

@deesjebeesje: to get a Kreiseltank work, it only need a few bubbles to get a smooth spin stream. It must be strong enough to keep the larvae in the middle (away from the border). But it must be smooth so that they don't get injured.
I am using a fixed small pipe which is plugged on a tube. This tube is plugged on an airpump. (in a normal aquarium I would use an airstone or a save airpump.

It is important tpo hold them in the water. They should not concentrate in the corners or borders.
Love sincerly,

Ow I see, myn are always in the corners or borders :( , first I was using a airstone but the larvea where everywhere on the wall, without the airstone they dont stick to the wall.
