"Burst hatchlings"

[charleybambino]

Today I found two of my eight week old babies dead......they appear to have burstOpen around stomach area. Two other tub mates seem ok. Were fine yesterday...chomping on chopped blood worms.....any ideas why?
Water changed twice daily, dechorinated and cool :-(((

Sounds like maybe one of the living ones attacked them. I can't think the of any other way they would get opened up like that. I would seperate the two you have left, just to be safe. You might have an especially aggressive one. How big are they and how often are they fed?

They have just got front legs, about 2.5cm to 3 cm long.Fed masses twice a day.
Will separate just incase.
