increasing aeration and a fast water flow I have found strengthens larvae. lowering the water level to facilitate the surface also helps. Breeding the largest possible stock insures health as well as a rich green algae growth in hatching tank. I've observed numerous times clinging half way on the algae surface as if resting and latter continuing for the surface.
