You need steam it first and then srcap out the seeds. Probably steam for about 10-15mins depending on how hot you have the water, as you need it fairly water logged.

Hope that helps. They also seem to like sweet potato, just peel the skin, quick wash and throw it it. It lasts longer and water stays cleaner too but they do seem to prefer zucchini.

Cheers & good luck.

Great idea, can I calirify further -

Do you -

1. Cut the zuccini in half
2. Steam for 10-15mins
3. Remove the seeds

By the looks of the photo you leave the skin on.

Cheers

Yeah Scotty Bils, thats the way i have been doing and yeah leave the skin on, dont know why but they absolutely love it. I also chop off the ends too. Cheers and good luck.

Hey Scott Bowler, these guys have all been sold (old pic) but have 1 batch at about 2-3cm and another batch just born/hatched yesterday only about 1cm. The parents are from all diff sources and consists of 1male about 10-12cm and 3feamles ranging from 8-12cm.
I will try and get a pic of the orange spots tonight - need to track them down, i have about 15-16 at different ages from 3-5cm but still hard to get a decent shot.

Cheers E1.

Hi G TAMMA

Thanks for keeping the photo updates. I have been enjoying them so I thought I would show you my little peps. This is my first batch and they are now 2 mths old. The Male breeder has just let out his next batch (too hard at the moment to tell how many there are. The sneaky little guys are so hard to find).

I have put up a photo of the little guys distructing a peice of zucinni. The other photo is of the parents tank.

All yours are looking great. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers

Mark
