Hi all, it's been a while, but I'm happy to say that all 15 larvae I raised have grown into happy, healthy juveniles! I feel that's extremely lucky considering it was an accidental spawn, I wasn't prepared, the mother was less than a year and had never bred before and I had no idea what the heck I was doing xD Most of them have already gone on to good homes, too. All in all it's been a big success!
My question is- as implied by the title- at about what size should I start feeding them every other day? I've been feeding them frozen bloodworms once a day, as much as they can eat within a half hour. My biggest guy, who's a little over 4 inches, can eat nearly a whole cube of bloodworms now in one session. I suspect it's high time I switched him to an every other day feeding schedule, but he acts so hungry and is so cute... in short, I want some professional advice haha. The other two I have left are between 3 and 4 inches as well. They were hatched in early December- is that a good growth rate? Anyway, that's a sidetrack. About how much and how often should I feed them?
Thanks to everyone on this forum by the way, I don't think I'd have ever made it this far without your help
