You can not compare Nats and other species.RockyGurly wrote:I think Nat had less of a problem with cannibalism because they had some hiding places and fewer zoae in each jar.
But it seems like curlz and wolf have both had huge problems with cannibalism. Wolf was doing great until they reached the final stage and began eating each other
All hermit megalopa larvae are cannibalistic, even marine hermits.
"Aussies" (Nat's variabilis) are more cannibalistic than the others.
mine got enough food, but mabye it was not good. or the other megalopa taste better. I do not know. In my successfull breeding project, the eat each other, too. Even they had enough food. Only thing that would help is to seperate them one by one.
A hiding place do not provide them to eat each other. It may delay some megalopa from eatting another, but not completely. And everything in the water gets dirty. A place for bacteria and germs to settle down.
@kuza: my stream is not strong enough to move shells (not the frozen food). They only stagger a little bit.
clean the frozen food with fresh water and after that with saltwater. So it is a little bit cleaner when putting it into the jars.
