Eggs, part 4 -> larvae

[gregory]

You can see the orange of the shrimp the axolotl ate easily from the side.

It can even be seen a bit from the top.

It's tougher to see in the darker embryos, but still possible to see a small orange glow.

Not a very good photo, but I tried to highlight a bit of the barred flank pattern of the dark larvae. The black stripes are clusters of melanophores and the lighter yellow stripes are clusters of xanthophores. This pattern will disappear as the larvae mature.

Three photos showing off their new gills

Hey,

your little axie larvae are so cute

Mine were that little a few months ago, amazing to see how much they have grown since. They've got their little legs and everything now.

All the best with raising your little ones,

Steffi
