Im Back!! With Babies Again ツ

[iSuzie]

Hey guys i'm back!!
After being away for 2 years, Im finally back ツ

Iv got some beautiful eggies, and a birth announcement is in order.
My first baby has hatched, I really find it so amazing, doing this all over again, but no matter how many times you raise axies, you always forget how tiny they really do start out! Oh wow im excited, I will post updates, and keep you all informed. Love Suzi​

Welcome back!

I have about 40 odd babies I'm raising at the moment, exciting isn't it? It's my first time and I'm loving every second of it! Although, like you say, it's weird how tiny they start.

I look at my big boy an girl and think "Really? How were you big tubby bubbies ever THAT small???" Hahaha.

It still amazes me how big a 1 cm creature can get.

 

[iSuzie]

1cm?? Lol Mine are 5mm at the moment. I'm actually was worried they had hatched premature! But then I remembered that all my others started out that small too, but it still shocked me to see one out of his egg, swimming around crazy for the first time in a very long time! Gosh it is extremely exciting and so very weird how u develop a instant love type connection to such a tiny little thing so fast!!.

 

[iSuzie]

Oh and @Jess, I know what u mean! Especially when ur adults are like 25-30cm long! They really do look like giants when u compare them, and then I think to myself how could such tiny, delicate, sensitive little things ever have survived and grown so big in the wild! The entire thing amazes me. ت

I KNOW RIGHT?! Haha. We just had one of our eggs hatch last night - it was our first time seeing it develop in the egg and then hatch (Our others hatched early so when we got them they were a day or two old). ITS SOOOO TINY! Its ridiculous. Like I thought the hatchlings were tiny but this guy is like TINY.

And I love my big guys so much. Can't remember what my life was a year ago without them... <3 They are my golden girl and pretty boy lol

Another just hatched! 3 tiny babies! Iv just given them their first feed as the oldest and biggest is almost 2 days old now They are seriously the cutest things ever :rofl:

Iv added the best possible photo i could take of the biggest one, at about 6mm's long now

 

[Possum63]

Nawwwhhh super cute. Our babies are almost 2cm now. They grow sooo fast <3

 

[iSuzie]

I'm so shattered, a baby chimera hatched today, and about after an hour he died His gills on one side were undeveloped compared to the other side, and one side was noticeably bigger. i knew that he would probably die, but i really thought he could at least live a day :{

Oh no, poor thing. I'm sorry you lost the little guy.
