A clutch of 40 A. tridactylum eggs was collected and hatched after being placed on damp paper towels. The hatchlings were set up in a small tank with about three quarters of an inch of water and some aquatic vegetation (coontail). Filtration has not been added yet but I'm guessing a sponge filter would be the best choice. They all seem to be doing well and are feeding on live mosquito larva. I know there is not a whole lot of info out there in the literature on Amphiuma reproduction much less husbandry of hatchlings. Any thoughts?
