Ichthyopsis sp (Caecilian)
Posted: 20 Jun 2025, 11:20
Been keeping these Ichthyopsis sp. (most likely bombayensis) for sometime now, way more active than one would imagine. Being larvae, they are able to breathe dissolved oxygen. The tank is filled with 6 inches of water, with driftwood and lava rock jutting above the surface. They're currently around 4 inches in length, and will soon need much lesser to no water as they mature into adults (the largest I have seen in the wild were around a foot in length). They’re currently taking bloodworms and Kens Multi Worm Sticks and other pellets. Watching these eat pellets is fascinating, they bite down on the pellets which almost burst and disintegrate instantly.
