All 4 eggs from the second clutch hatched, making 10 for 10 on the year for the 3-stripes. Below is a photo with the lasted clutch and the first one to show how much the first set of hatchlings have grown in a month.
So after this photo I moved the 6 from the first clutch into a 30 gallon tank with a basking ramp, floating plants and a UV basking lamp overhead and then I put the new set of hatchlings in the hang on guppy breeding tank. I will keep them in that for a month or so, just because that way they get heated filtered water, but a small space where when I feed them the food is right in front of there face with out any current to fight untill they get there sea legs fully developed. It was funny to watch the first hatchlings explore there new relatively huge tank, they would crawl around on the bottom and then when they needed air they would wind up those tiny little legs and paddle super fast to get up to the surface. Then they would float on the surface for awhile, then paddle down, but they would float right back up, it took them a bit to figure out they needed to belch out a little air to keep from floating. I was thinking "ahhh you have much to learn grasshoppers"

Congrats and that is a big difference in a month!

thanks Jeff, I feed them a mix of Reptomin sticks and Wardleys turtle sticks, because wardleys had vitamin D3 and reptomin doesn't, and I feel that is a good mix because I want to make sure they are getting D3 suppliment and calcium and UV light, so they aren't deficient since they aren't in sunlight, but at the same time I don't want to overdo it either with hatchlings either, I figure with fat soluble vitamins a little goes a long ways since it can build up and become toxic too. They seem to be growing well and active and hungry, so I hope its working.

Congratulations Jeff! And love the comparison for size, that's great!

Congrats Jeff. They look great! And cute....LOL

kickin' butt with those bro !

Looking good bro! That is some amazing growth in just a month so it looks like your feeding regiment is working!
