Baby emperors!

[Zeez]

I am so excited! I work at a pet store, and a customer said he had baby emperors. He sold me 3 for $20 and they are cute! I know emperors are easy to find and care for, but I've never had babies. Any tips to help them thrive? They are currently in deli cups on eco earth. I have them in an empty mini fridge I had with a heat emitter in it. Temps are about 85. Is that warm enough? Should I keep heat on 24/7 or turn it off at night?

Any tips and advice are appreciated! They are currently burrowed in the substrate so I don't have any pics yet, but will post them as soon as I get them!

Hey Zeez, you can feed them about once per week. If the feeders are really small then twice a week is good. If the feeder is pretty big, then once a week or once every two weeks is good.

Thanks! I know they are communal species, but remember reading that babies shouldn't be kept together. Thoughts on that? If I keep them separate while babies, will they still be able to live together once matured?
