Work tank update

Work tank is still holding only one adult female. I call her Esmeralda. She has a full egg sac and there are a few babies in the tank. I am hoping that the tank repopulates in the next few weeks. I gave the tank a dose of Plasma III this morning and a good oxygen bath with the Million-Bubble air pump.

I oxygenate all my tanks everyday and when starting new experiments I will oxygenate twice a day. When pumping oxygen into the tanks, I don't just give it a pump or two, I give it 15 to 20 pumps and really get the air into the tank. For the bell jar type tanks such as Mars and Magic Castle this is a must.
