Every year for the past 7 years I have raised my larvae separately in individual containers sharing a common water source. This year I decided not to breed them as i am just to busy to go through the process. I did not cycle them. I did however cycle the photoperiod and maybe that coupled with the fact that most of my adult animals are captive bread has given me unexpected larvae.
Even though I did not want them they are here. I don't want to house them individually due to the amount of time spent feeding every year. I have set them up in a very large aquarium and have access a very healthy supply of live food to "stock" the aquarium and want to know if this should be enough to stop cannibalism.
I know some keep them together so it can be done but do they cannibalize as part of their nature or only when lacking other foods?
Cheers.
