T. verrucosus baby

[chris]

This little guy grew up in the adult tank without any human intervention. There's still a very large larva in the tank I see from time to time. This guy is about 2 inches long. The adults breed pretty uch constantly, so there is always a supplyu of eggs and small larvae for the bigger larvae to eat. This one is now getting waxworms. The tank is very very densely planted, and he spend mpost of his time on one of the mossy corkbark islands, but can climb everywhere on themat of valisineria and peace lilly with only his feet getting wet.

This was also an excuse to try out my new camera...

Very nice, Chris. I am also making increasing use of the "raising with parents" method for larvae. Have you considered submitting any of these to the calendar photo contest (General Discussion section)?
