Fig. 2 Procedures for collecting eggs and raising specimens. A. Photograph of a breeding tank, with a bottom grid to enable eggs to fall outside the reach of adult fish (which may otherwise eat them), a Petri dish and an egg-harvesting strainer. B. Once the inner container is removed with the breeding adults, the water with the eggs contained in the breeding tank is gently poured through the strainer to collect eggs. C. The eggs are gently and briefly washed with clean water from the facility system. D. The strainer is then placed inside down onto the inner (bottom) part of the Petri dish and eggs are flushed into this dish applying a gently flow of water using a plastic bottle. E. The eggs will now be visible in the dish. F. The dish with the eggs can then be moved to a stereomicroscope of fluorescence
