Picking Eggs

Shawn and Sandy working...picking eggs. These eggs were spawned 2 weeks ago. Most of them have their eyes and our job is to remove the ones that are "bad"(dead, only have 1 eye or did not get fertilized). We are using a syphon process to do this. It is very tedious work...kind of like stringing beads. The tray that I was working on had 3 little hatchlings in it...they are starting to hatch. They are so cute. They look like brine shrimp with an orange eggs sack attached. In about a month these little guys will be swimming out in the pond.
