Great photos Chris. Interesting to compare with mine....they are more or less at the same stage. Unfortunately I've had quite a few dissapear...I think cannibalism or perhaps food competition is to blame.

Looking good. Hard to believe theyll grow into marbled newts. How many are you left? They sure are growing slow right? Man I cant tell ya how slow mine seem to be going.

 

[chris_dishmon]

actually mine are growin fast but i'm heavy feeding them blood worms. i still got the four and in the pictures you can see how big they have gotten in retrospect to the 10 gallon tank.

 

[chris_dishmon]

i drop a bunch in there and suck up what they don't eat with a turkey baster.

 

[Jennewt]

Mmmm, spaghetti! :frog: Since the blackworms are live food, you can leave some in there for snacking.

I got my group about the same time, maybe a couple weeks later. Many are morphing out right now. Here's a picture that Joe Sartore took while he was visiting our facility at Conservation Fisheries, Inc.

I'll take some pics of the morphs before too long.

 

[chris_dishmon]

wow! that's a nice pic.

Any morphs yet Chris? I found this little fella climbing the glass of the marm tank this morning.

And to give him some scale. I think that's about the equivalent size of a US quarter.

 

[chris_dishmon]

none yet but they are growing fast......

more pics...

really awesome stuff chris, this post has been going on for so long it makes it seem like its taking forever for them to grow up

 

[chris_dishmon]

yeah but i easily loose track of time.

 

[chris_dishmon]

[chris_dishmon]

[chris_dishmon]

Congratulations Chris! It looks great, what a beautiful little morph. I´m waiting myself for one of my C.o to morph...it´s so exciting when they are aproaching it. But now the hard part starts. Best of lucks with them, be sure to post more pics of the beauties.

 

[chris_dishmon]

well all of mine are morphed so i will no longer update this thread. however look for pics in the "photo" section.
