Hi guys,
So my little babies seem to be growing well and I expect them to hatch sometime this week (eek!)
I moved them out of the parents tank as soon as the eggs were laid and I put them into a very small tank (16" x 8" and 8" high) as this was the only other tank I had at the time.
Anyway now I've bought an under-bed plastic container that is big and quite low (24" x 16" and 7" high) and I was going to put them in there, but I don't know when to do this.
Should I move the eggs now or might they panic? Or just wait till they hatch and somehow move them? Finally I could leave them in there as they will be able to easily get the daphnia, but I have about 180 eggs in that little tank.
Oh and another option is to move them into individual plastic tubs - I have loads of these.
Also, I heard something about using a turkey baster, can I use one to move the babies in the first day of being hatched? Or is this just to clean the tank?
Sorry for all the questions!
