I have 15 that have hatched all feeding well on brine shrimp and daphnia. 3 left to hatch 1 looks dead though, the others wiggling around in the egg. have all of them im a large plastic tub, with a filter on in the cellar with the light on during the day.
They have black eyes and are clear while the top of there backs are dark. Are these leucistics? thought they were just white?

Hi,

No lecustics can have spots of black in them its all down to their genetics.

Some of my babies have light black spots,a lot of lecustics can have "dirty faces" whare their faces are covered in black spots.

So its pretty normal for them to have spots.

Im down to seven now but they all seem fine, started getting a fungal prob again but seems to stop if i use a mild dose of anti fungal treatment for fish. they are getting bigger so hopefully i will get a few to survive without anymore probs. getting through lots of daphnia though as my sharp ribbed newt eggs hatched this week too! thought the newly hatched axies were small, these things are tiny!!
