Ok well yesterday was a bad day in this household and I still dont know exactly what happened but the long and short of it is my poor axolotl babies ended up on the floor from a high place and I ended up swimming in a whole lot of spawn water to rescue them
I managed to scoop them all up but sadly 50% of the formed larvae had come out of their eggs so were free swimming and they were only just over 10 days old. To say I panicked was an understatement and thankfully the lovely Julia came to my rescue (that woman is an :angel.
So I have baby daphnia at the ready for tomorrow but am still very worried I could lose a load either through the shock or the fact they hatched a few days early and not from their own choice. A lot of them are still kinda flat looking
Anyway I know that a lot of the eggs I have are duds but how do I detach these from the larvae as I really dont want to end up with anymore mishaps or other larvae being ripped out of their homes whilst trying to seperate the dud eggs BUT i also dont want the dud eggs polluting the water of my free swimming larvae, so once again guys.....
HELP PLEASE
