January 8, 2012 - Day 44 - No fatalities. 4 have been separated due to cannibalism which means that 4 have lost a hand or a toe.

Can i ask what temperature you had the water at the beginning?

Our temps ranged from 67 - 70

Awww sad
All but 7 of my 23 have hatched so far and I've decided to separate them right from the start... It may be a lil more work with water changes after bbs feedings, but so far I've got a good system working out

January 13, 2012 - Day 49 - No fatalities, big surprise The one I've been photographing is growing at the same rate as most of the others. Some are a bit bigger, some are a bit smaller. Tomorrow will be my last post as their development from egg -> larva -> juvenile has come to an end

January 14, 2012 - Day 50 - All 44 axolotl juveniles from Nancy & Laverne's (still kicking myself for naming him) first spawn are doing amazing. They're all averaging 2", feeding on frozen bloodworms & brine shrimp.

Nancy - Mom

Laverne - Dad
