Here are the earliest eggs hatching:
And here are the eggs from their next clutch:
As you can see the tadpoles are starting to take shape.
The tinctorius Ole Marie have produced another great clutch (fingers crossed these will survive).
And more recently our Powder blues surprised us by dropping these little beauties under a coconut hut after only being with us for about a month.
So like I said more eggs than you shake a stick at but I also have a few tadpoles from the Cobalt's as well:
Some of them are developed enough to have back legs:
And others are still tiny and have only just left the comfort of their egg:
Here it is:
The water is maintained at 26° and has a filter placed at the far end. The out let for the filter is at the end with the syphon (purely there so easy to find when I need it) so water flows from end to end but is fairly gentle. There is a red bush tea bag in one of the cups at the far end and that keeps just the right amount of tea to colour the water but not pollute it. This red bush tea has natural anti fungal properties and should stop anything funky happening.
This is in its early stages but I'm hoping to see some success very soon and within a few weeks it should be full with tadpoles, the whole system can hold 33 tad's but I have a couple more of these that I can set up when I need to.
