But are you hoping that you'll get some adults of this lot?

We're hoping we wont loose the 9 that's left out of the 25ish we got as spawn. Some just never started eating, guess that's natural that a few don't make it - just hope we have no more losses now Id they all get to adulthood we will be keeping two of them.

We lost another 2 yesterday so have 7 left.

Hope 7 is a lucky number for axies.

Mega Photo update:









Even caught him eating a daphnia:




Thought I'd explain the camera set up for taking photos of the tiny little axies - I've tried various set ups with different lenses, but with this combination I find I get the best results... just wish I could afford a dedicated macro lens at the moment. but the macro extension rings were only a fiver so I can't complain at the results.



and the set up in action:

They are doing great- got some more pictures to put up but haven't got around it it yet. Two of them have fully formed back legs now and the other 2 have them growing nicely.

They also have names now too: Attilla, Timujin, Boudicca and Hannibal

Here's a photo update: (although these pics are already a few weeks old)

Attila



Timujin
