[QUOTE="Mantida, post: 48662, member: 1149"] With my first T. sinesis hatching, I kept them all together until a week and a half had gone by. Start feeding them 1-3 days after they hatch because right after hatching the show no interest in attacking prey. I just dumped a bunch of fruit flies in there and let them crawl around. The stronger ones will notice and attack them. Separation of the nymphs really depends on what you can manage. If you get too many nymphs, leave them together for 2 weeks until you are singled out with the strongest ones or are left with a manageable number. I personally separate them within a week or a week and a half, regardless of the number of nymphs left (of course, if I had an insane amount of nymphs - 250+, I would leave them together, you get the idea). I'd drape a paper towel over one side and along the bottom for misting purposes. You will find that even if you are careful with mistings to make sure the droplets don't get too big, some nymphs tend to get stuck in the water and may drown. The paper towel helps absorb the bigger droplets and the nymphs can drink directly from it. [/QUOTE]
