Comma will remain at this distance approximately 6-8 Days or maybe more or less depending on the temperature and the environment. Larvae can be periodically removed up to 4 Times from the comma phase 1 until 4 The larvae use a breathing tube at an angle to the surface of the water with the body tilted. The movement of the larvae is like a snake creeping back and forth. Does not like the light The food of the larvae is organic matter, algae, bacteria, food debris and when the larvae enter the stage. 4 And is about to become a robber or into a trap, the movement will slow down.
