E. Anthonyi "Santa Isabel"

[bshmerlie]

I'm just creating a thread so I can share with you what Tony and Isabel have been up to lately. I'm having a lot of fun with them. They are having a jolly old time producing eggs and transporting the tads. Here is a picture of Tony with a group of tads from his last clutch. I post updates on this thread of tadpole development so you guys can see the progress.

How many tads do you think he's carrying around?

Great photo and great news! Part of the reason I never got anthonyi is because I didn't want to deal with finding homes for them all!

Now that Tony has transported his tads he's working on a new batch.
Men...they only have one thing on their minds.

Looking great Cheri - wasn't joking when i said they never stop!
A little tip for your film cannister lay sites - if you split a cannister in half you can slide it in the whole cannister and then pull the split one out without having to disturb the eggs:

Yeah I saw how you did that ...very cool. I don't mess with the eggs at this point. I just let him take care of them. Once he has them all transported to the water bowl then I clean out the cup. He seems to rotate between two favorite cups. Im looking at getting a nice camera that can take some good close up shots. At that point I'm going to pull the eggs and take a daily developmental shot as the eggs become tads.
