More Daphnia arrived

Had more Daphnia arrive today and I have loaded up all of the tubs so the juvenile axolotls will be happy for a bit. I am slowly stopping with the BBS for now and going to go with daphnia for a bit as it is less hassle.

I have out 2 tubes of daphnia in my daphnia tub to see if they grow in there or not. I haven't had much luck until now but you never know.

I have also bought 3 tubes of small live blood worms to get them used to the blood worms so that they can transition from daphnia to blood worms soon and then onto frozen blood worm as soon as possible.

Pinky and the brain also ate pellets today so I can start moving them onto these too as they are eating so much frozen blood worm it is not funny. Unfortunately I have been spoiling them by feeding with tweezers so now they are too good to eat out of their bowl 😭🤦‍♂️🤣

I am going to hold off until the end of the week to move the fish into the new tank as I am waiting on an under gravel filter and gravel to arrive before I can set the tank up.

I am going to move the filter from their current tank into there too so that the bacteria will already be there so not need to cycle the tank again.

I will then move big boy into the other big tank on top of the fish and then move the juveniles from then tubs I into the smaller tank that big boy is currently in.

I am not sure if I will move the 4 out of the small tank into this bigger tank as well or leave them where they are at the moment until they get a bit bigger. They seem happy enough so I may leave them a while longer as the gravel isn't a problem at the moment as it is still too big for them to swallow.
