Do you have any pics of the pair Shaun? I'd love to see them!

I use imgur.com to upload them to a free account and then just click on the insert an image button to put the link in that they give you and it'll post. You can try the image upload button but I think that has some pretty severe limitations on file size.

Nice!

That's awesome Shaun. Looks like a small clutch. The first ones are usually weak and not many live with my pairs, but I have to save them and try... hahah.

Today is day 3 and there are only 8 left. A few of them are starting to eat well, their bellies are bulging

5 days old. The dust specks are rotifers.
