Just thought I'd post this if anyone is interested in seeing a picture of my female RCC carring eggs on my web site.

I looked for info about trying to raise them and did not come across anything. I think I had read before that It's next to impossible because of the size, and that they are free floating, like plankton. Any links would be helpful, cause I'll try something to see if I can get at least 1 to grow up to an adult.

Your right about raising the fry. Its my understanding that they start out as filter feeders like plankton or daphnia. I can't remember where I found the info. If I come across it again I'll post the link on this thread.

I found the site that goes over the development stages of the RCC. Here's the link:
