Default My Baby Axies Hatched :)

ok, posted a thread up here maybe a month ago about my axolotl's laying eggs.

managed to seperate approx 40 out of 60 into another tank (bucket), the 20 left in mum and dad's tank didn't make it, but ALL 40 of the others hatched!

so now i'm raising 40 babies, both albino and wild types and a few that look in-between in a small tank, just got an airstone and a filter suitable for babies.

i managed to source some daphnia, but its not in season so they're not getting much of that. Tried feeding them frozen bloodworm which a local aquarium owner told me worked... which didn't, but just tracked down some live brine shrimp today, and did they snap that up quickly!

here's some pics







i'll be raising them up until they're bigger, then i'll sell most and give away a few, so if by some chance we have any readers in melb who want a couple, let me know
