I just recived my first pair of hatchling blues. I have had them for a week, when last night i found the female dead. I have them in a rack in sterilight tubs 16qt.I used papper towles ss water dish, inverted flower pot hide, and a small plastic plant stim.
I had tried to feed the the night befor in 1# deli cups. I started with f/t pinkies then tried live. I had no luck getting them to feed and 24 hrs later the female was dead. upon reciving them they were allert and appered to be in fine health. I was just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is this just one of those things that happen from time to time. they were sold as c/b oh and my rack temp is 86f. thanks for any help.
