What do you feed the babies? I have a adult female now for about 7 years. Male died about 1 year ago. They had eggs for about 2-3 years, never had time to hatch them out.

Its very time consuming to grow the babies out. I feed them brine shrimp (they eat ALOT, I have to buy them in bulk as I've never had luck hatching my own shrimp) and then once they are about an inch I can switch them over to blackworms and sometimes frozen bloodworms when I'm running low. Costs a lot weekly to feed these guys and waterchanges galore. Then once they put on some size u have to space them all out so they don't bite eachothers limbs off (which regenerate). There's no space in my fish room with all these babies....

Having great luck with these two batches. The first (last year) didn't go so well as I didn't have the time to care for them. Its A LOT of work and A LOT of money spent on food. They are awesome tho lol

I thought I read online somewhere that anti-fungal medication was required to protect the eggs until they hatched. Guess I was wrong haha.

My gf and I have read anything and eveything we can find about axos online (probably twice) and have not come across this info. Either way, I didn't use anything other than clean water. The babies are 3" now except for some runts.
