I dropped seven pupae in each enclosure. Within two days they had all hatched, and within four days, what flies that weren't eaten were dead on the bottom of the tank. They may have eaten 3 flies each. Granted, my female ghost enclosure is a 29 gallon tank, split down the middle with a piece of plexiglass with one ghost per side, so it may have been too much area and too much leafy material for them to find the flies. But still, my experience led me to believe that loading tanks with food isn't really the best way to feed these fellas. I'm a noob, so as always, your mileage may vary. I stick to feeding enclosures or tweezers now.</p></blockquote><p></p>
