Not much. 1st spawn is the best so far.

Fyi, each spawn can be like 300 but only 2 to 3 fries make it at the end of the day.

any deductions on the low survival rate of the fries? difficult to feed? cannibalism?

hard to tell... it could be water maintenance, temp, bad food selection like "dirty" tubi.. or maybe pacman cat has low survival rate for their fries.

only a handful have feeding problem but most of them are fine.

congrats mod.... out of 300 only 2 to 3 survive.. not easy ...

maybe don't use tubi?
