that is the way i felt with mine. It took forever and i saw the day she got knocked up. I always read 90-100 days so when 100 days was here i was going crazy....DING pups are done.
6 born but lost 2. 4 made it so far.
I am on the hunt for blackworms today.... Slight possibility I don't find any, can someone recommend some alternatives? IF I can't find them I'll order some but prolly won't see them till the beginning of the week.....
Next question.... Mom. Do I need to move her out asap? Looks like one of the rays that didn't make it may have be crushed. Prolly best IF I just set up a 40 and run it off the same system huh?

oh shoot... pics!!!!
im shocked some pups didnt make it..
i would deff try to keep them in the same water they were born. if u acclimate to diff water it will take longer for them to become stable...
i start pups right on chopped earthworms. i had parasites introduced from blackworms b4
just chop them up very small and they should start eating in about 3 days, give or take...Leave mom in with them for another day or so just to make sure she's not still holding, or move her out asap OR set up a 40 gallon tank passthrough on the same system and move the pups out asap? I have a drilled 40.
The tank they are in now has some sand in it, a BIG mom, and is only 4x3. Can't really divide it off either.
Had no idea it took a few days for them to start eating. That and the fact they may take small chopped crawlers or wigglers is a HUGE relief.
The lil fellers look healthy, but then again so did the 2 that didn't make it.
Thanks Trev! Appreciate it!!!

i would leave the pups w mom for a little if they were just born a few hrs ago.
later today i would transfer the pups to a tank on the same water. leave mom right where she is for a few days.
when i section off my mom, she is in about a 2'x4' area and she tramples all over the pups and the pups are always ok
