Photo: My 1.5 month old baby Axies

So... My lovely leucistic Leelu had 400 eggs for her first batch! I decided to grab new life by the horns and raise the clutch! We had 280 hatch and currently have 203 still growing strong! They are 1 and a half months old, 1.5 inches and have both front and back legs going on!!! They are super cute and I'm learning along the way with them! Just want to see what you all think!!!

Let me know, was wondering if I should airate the tubs now which are large storage containers or is plant life enough???

Thanks Sabby XxX

Am a total newbie to this but great to see the little ones doing well. You'll get some great advice on this forum.....look forward to seeing some pics of them when they're a tad bigger. :happy:

As long as you do daily water changes aeration is not needed. I blame no aeration on my babies nice long gills( i still call them babies but they are 5"long now!) they are 3 1/2montha now and been in tuperware containers their whole life with daily water changes(that is a lot of dedication i think o.o) and though i was going to put them in tanks soon i decided to just buy a big rubermaid and keep them in the same spot, since the tank is like 5C warmer and its way to warm for axies(i have a 25gallon as well in my room that is 68F but the 10gallon is in a different room and its always over 75F now o.o)
