but very difficult right? how many success stories compared to the number of failure? i mean for every 1 that survives, 40 die? haha.

sometimes is not wether can or cannot, is worth or not. that's why i say sometimes better left in the sea.

but i'm very curious and exited at the same time to know that ornate has been done successfully!! it's really one of the nicest of the lot.

here's a video of ornate feeding on mashed up pellets! it looks very big though. not sure if it will adapt to the pellets, or will end up dying of nutritional deficiencies

the octofasciatus and baronessa is also feeding on pellets in the video

Ornate only one i think or is it Meyeri? LOL.. One of these species...

The number of success stories known can count with 1 hand... LOL... But there might be more not recorded one..

Baronessa and Larvatus is the more easier one to feed but with constant training and feeding..

yes. the ratio of success to failure is 1 to a thousand. for everyone that survive, hundreds more die.

larvatus is really nice. seldom see though.

I feel that those specimen shouldn't be imported in as many has already proven that it cannot survive in captivity.

That's the only way to prevent innocent live kill n the only way in saving Gaia...

Some1 doesn't 1 2 do anything find an excuse,some1 1 2 do something find a mean!
