Developmental bio experiment FRC

[DrGthumb]

Hey everyone I am currently in a developmental biology class and decided to do something out of the norm for the projects we do, most choose to study planaria, tadpoles, or sea urchin development. Since i have a rather populated 29G community tank with FRC prego mothers I convinced my group to see the developmental rate of fry and if mothers give birth at different temps.
The parameters of the coldest tank was about 58-60F , the control was the room temp of 70F, and the last was heated to 80F
Was curious if anyone else has tried this and noticed a significant difference in fry development and wether pregnant mothers and their unhatched fry will survive the extreme at 60 and 80.
Heres a couple photos of my planted tank

Heres a couple photos of the experiment in action just started last week, im going to try and add an amazon sword on a small log to each jar to help alleviate stress and something to climb on. Any tips or advice would be great

And if anyone was interested in planaria they have regenerative traits that make for interesting experiments these were tail and heat sections severed and they full regrew, some where sliced a second time down to the tail and resulted in two heads or they reconnected and healed.

You'd better get that research funded... I'll be needing a good fix like that if I accidentally knock a finger off with a skill saw
