Photo: My babies + setup

[AxoEm]

So I'm raising four of the babies my adults had. I have 4 and I have the two biggest separated (in a 10 gal tank) from the two littlest ones which are in their own separate little tupperwares.
Do you think I should put the littlest ones in with the big ones? I feel bad that they're in such a small space. I could put them in another spare 10 gallon I have but I don't have a lot of space for it in my room.
(the gold and two little melanoids don't have homes, also. If anyone is interested??)

Is there a big difference in size? I think if you put some plants in there they should be fine. Less they bump at each other less chance of snapping and missing limbs. Create a world to explore and keep well fed and they should be fine.

If they're small enough, they'll just be food for the big ones.

I've raised larvae in sandwich tubs successfully. They do fine in small spaces.

I think the biggest difference is a half an inch between the biggest and the smallest?
Thanks for the advice by the way!

 

[Methodzki]

That is a big difference... Wait a bit till they beef up

Alrighty! Thanks! c:

I'd be willing to take them off your hands if you want me to (Speaking of the gold and melanoids, of course.). I have a 150 gallon just waiting for a reason to be an axolotl paradise. Haha Also, I'm close to the border of Washington, but I'd have to wait until I can get out there. But if you can find someone closer, by all means, I don't mean to inconvenience you.

That would be rad! Yeah I don't have the time at the moment to get out there though, with work and school going on but yeah it'd be awesome if we could work something out!

I'm going to try and put up an ad in the for-sale, giveaway, and trade section to see if anyone closer to me would want them, but if I don't get any takers I'll be sure to contact you!

Awesome, thanks. I'll be in Washington for Christmas to visit relatives in Tacoma, so if you still have them by then, I'm sure I'd be able to pick them up.

 

[AxoEm]

Oh really? Alright that sounds rad (Hah I'll actually be visiting family in Tacoma on Christmas too! Small world)

What a coincidence. :grin: Oh, I forgot to ask, are they old enough for bloodworms, or still on BBS?

 

[AxoEm]

They're on bloodworms now. I feed them with tweezers, they don't seem to eat stuff off the ground much though (or maybe they're already full so they don't eat any of the leftovers)

 

[Wild TONY appeared!]

I hand-feed mine so that's perfect. I'll let you know when I'm heading up a week or so ahead of time to see if you've still got them. Thanks again.

The babies have gotten so big!
I'm thinking of keeping the gold albino (Named Garlic Fry for now), I think he's so soooo pretty
And the biggest black melanoid (Named Hamburger for now) has a home so now just the smallest black melanoid (Small Fry), and the middle black melanoid (Curly Fry) need homes!
