How long can they survive?

[MantidLord]

Hey guys, been a while. I've successfully breeded my Iris oratorias, and now the second generation has hatched early. They've been alive for about 2-3 days now, and I won't be able to feed them until tomorrow afternoon. Can anyone give me an educated guess as to how long they can go without food before the mass canibalize and starve? Also, what temperature should I store the other I. oratoria ooths, as I don't want them hatching yet, as it's way too early, and I want to store them in the refridgerator. So what temp. do you guys think is best? Thanks alot!

If you have food tomorrow I am pretty sure they will be ok for one more day.

aS LONG AS THEY HAVE WATER, 8 OR 9 DAYS IS NOT UNHEARD OF.

Thanks alot guys. Any idea on the temp for stored ooths? Their Iris oratoria just in case that helps.
