Default Re: Another loss....

Sorry for your loss, Chuck. I have an established colony that have been doing well. The oldest is over a year old, the youngest are 5 months old.

But I also have a tank of teeny and smalls Es since September, and they're not doing well at all, although I know all of them have molted at least once while in captivity. Maybe small ones have less of a success rate. I wonder if it's nature's way of weeding out the weaker ones?
