Hi,


In my experience the ones on their backs usually die.

But many lie on their stomachs doing little and seem to have a yolk sac type thing, like a big stomach pouch.
About 24 hours later the ones doing the best have absorbed the sac-like structure and are swimming.

Is this what others have found?

PS Does having a yolk sac mean they were born too soon?
