[QUOTE="TheShadyMantid, post: 314126, member: 10685"] Cool post Dane, thanks for sharing =) The Chinese were my first as well and will always have a special place in my heart. You are right about the high mortality in early instars. Best thing to do is separate the ones you want to keep as soon as possible. Here are the key things that give me the highest success with the chinese nymphs: 1. papertowel at the bottom, coarse material at the top to hang/molt 2. misting at least once a day, but enough ventilation so that droplets dry up in 30-45 minutes. 3. feed every 2 days at least, never 3. Check them on non feeding days for random starvers. Congrats! [/QUOTE]
