I have to breed axies for a uni project

[teesha]

Look, i'm gunna back up my assignment with cockatiels or finches or something easy.....but i will still like to try a stab at it....i'm planing on only hatching 20 eggs, so the others i will unfortunately cull, it will be for the best...How should i do that....pop em in th efreezer overnight and then bin them??? or should i just leave em in the parent tank so they can have a snak?

Also, i have a pond outside with numerous wrigglers and daphnia!!! Its like a plague! so that should also help keep them full! i will also purchase some black worms and more larger daphnia and other live foods... Oh and there is also some bloodworm in my pond too!!!

I found raising axies is really easy, but I´ve been doing it for a while, In the past months I raised near 400 axies, you just got to have space for it , sometimes I raise them just with a air stone and lot´s of plants for them to hide and don´t eat each others out. right now I ´m raising 4 axies just in a small box with water that was tested and came from a river, in there I have plants lot´s of them, snails, live daphnia, and I do not do water changes I do not have an air stone just like a small pond, their are doing just fine.

i began freezing the wrigglers and rinsing them first just in case and too keep em clean. This is so they dont grow up and so if stocks do get low and i can back em up with these...i doubt they will get low!!!!
