On the 10thday, all the fins were visible and body colouration had begun to develop, the larvae then measured 7.08 mm in total length. The banding began to appear from the 10th day and on the 15thday, the head and middle band were clearly visible. From the 25th day onwards, the larva measured 9.66 mm in total length.
