Just to let you know this is not a happy post ....
I had two little axo babies that both died yesterday and so I'm on here trying to find out why ?
ok day one got the axo in there eggs we planed to only get one as we had not hatched axo from eggs before but the egg was attached to another egg so we got both 1 hr after picking out our eggs they hatched
the axo set up was a plastic container tap water and water ager i left in over night
they were feed on a diet newly hatched brine shrimp
got home set up the brine shrimp hatchery and waited for the eggs to hatch for 48hrs b4 we tried feeding the babies.. the hatchery was two plastic water bottles a air pump and salt water from a established salt water tank
basic routine the axo would be feed every 2nd night per breeder instruction for 15 mins
then most of the brine shimp water was disregarded and axo was placed back in there container that had a 20% sometimes more water changes
water change was tap water just made 10mins to 1hr b4 with water ager
the axo's were doing great until 3 days ago when one of them got a air bubble in his tummy the only thing we had done differently was we started aging the water for a few days in a bottle at this stage we were hatching new brine shrimp for each feed
event though it was a day that we went meant to feed them he was sick so we thought a feed would do him well we were right we feed him and 1hr later he was fine
so we put him back in with his mate oh sorry i forgot to say when he was sick we separated them oh and we had made morebrine shimp then nassary so we wernt making fresh stuff we had used this batch for like 3 days
then next day they were fine and then the day after they both had air bubble so we deiced to stop aging the water change water over a few days and go back to only leaving it for 10mins to 1 hr again we feed them and 1hr later they were ok desprate we decided that we would feed them every day as they seemed to get sick on the days we did not feed them this worked for two days then we feed them chaged there water like normal and we went to bed they where swimming around and seemed fine we when we sore them last please help i don't want there death to be for nothing
