Do I move the hatchlings?!?!

[aleseacheson]

Woke up to 3 hatchlings, I have brine going and daphnia in another tank. My question is do I move the hatchlings out of the container of eggs? If so, what is the best way to do so. Should I feed them while they are in with the eggs? Any info would greatly help! Thanks!!!

Use a teaspoon to gently scoop them up and put them in a new container. Get some sandwich containers and keep 2 or 3 per container. They probably won't eat for 24 hours or so, but put daphnia in with them now, and the daphnia will produce babies that are just the right size for hungry axolotl larvae!

awesome thank you much! can I put daphnia and the baby brine together when feeding?

You can, but you'll have to do a 100% water change after feeding brine shrimp. You'll likely lose all the daphnia then, unless you set up some sort of reclamation set up (done this, not worth it). First hand experience, I would choose one or the other. That is, unless you have a prolific daphnia culture, in which case you can afford to lose lots.
