successfully breeding crickets for my arowana...

Can install a mercury hydride lamp to warm them up.

It is exactly two weeks, i saw the baby crickets....
Now, i will have sufficient food for my aro..hehe

i will start to feed my current baby crickets in 4 weeks time when they grown adult...i can't calculate exactly the number of baby crickets...my estimation about 500+ baby crickets...i'll keep u guys update ya...the progress...Thanks for anyone who help me in this breeding project...


Just want to share a piece of small project conducted two weeks ago and i have successfully breed my own crickets for my hungry arowana....

here's pictures...

1st pictures, initial setup for breeding crickets.
2nd pictures, after two weeks huge army of baby crickets flooded my breeding tank..wonder how to use them up...

Good idea, but how long it takes for those crickets to grow big before feeding to the aro, the noise level at your house must be tremendous..
