Tiny carp babies are here! They hatched recently, and today they had their first Artemia meal. Small fish, big milestone 😀🐟 !

Its cool to find myxozoans in the exhibition of the National Museum in Prague 🤩. Btw, see the running exhibition about Human evolution including the 3 million years old original exemplars of Lucy and Salem (Australopithecus afarensis). @narodnimuzeum
