larvae not eating..

[ge0h0und]

My favorite little larvae hasn't eaten today, and now it's floating upside down due to swallowing some air. It wasn't like this earlier when I was trying to feed it along with the others, but it seemed to refuse food when I was trying to feed it. Now its swallowed air and it's floating.

Any tips on what to do to help it because don't larvae need to eat about twice a day? It's nearly impossible to try to feed it when its floating up cause i normally drop little cut up blackworms to them., and it doesn't seem interested in the microworms either. :/ I remember reading it can pass the air if it ate, but well.. seems like I'm in a tough situation. ><

Try popping it in the shallowest water you can, this will stop the floating and turning over. Hopefully he will pass the air and eat then.
If you pop some worm in with him he might just grab it.
good luck and fingers crossed

It passed away this morning. I tried to put it in shallow water, but it remained upside down so I wasn't able to feed it at all. It was the unique one of the bunch too cause all of my larvae have black eyes except for this one. ><

Oh no, that is a shame. My condolences. The poor little thing.

Hopefully the rest all remain healthy for you.

Thanks. The other ones are doing quite well from what I can see. Bunch of little fatties they are. I can't tell if they're getting feet yet though. Should be around the time since its been 2 weeks.

Sorry about your favorie little guy. I hope the rest do fine! Your larvae are my larvae's brothers and sisters.

You got yours from Ron too? Or did you send eggs to Ron, and ended up going to me? :O
