Hi I have been raising some right now and I kept the eggs in a small tank (or even a plastic tub works) then once they hatched transferred them to a plastic container. For feeding, I’m pretty sure it’s 24-48 hours after hatching that you can feed them BBS, this is because they have yoke in their stomachs still. wish you the best!

Great! Thanks for replying, how often should I do a water change?

I did a 70-90% water change after every feeding (2 feedings a day) when I fed BBS (they don’t live long in fresh water and dirty the water quickly).

Nice, thanks for replying! I'll update you on the hatching process of the eggs. Right now they are still tiny balls.

They look like they're hatching. I'm transferring them into a container.

Exciting!! I had about 2/100 hatch on day 1, day 2 I had about 50 and the last remaining guys hatched within the next 3 days (I had to assist some guys getting out because some are too weak to break the egg sac). Also keep in mind you may need to make a water change (ammonia from the egg can cause the remaining eggs to struggle breaking out; i found this info on here somewhere I’ll try to find it again) so excited for you! upload photos if you can!!
