DK, if the weather permits, and you have the room, have you thought of setting up just a smaller babypool outside, let it set out with water and some floating plants(to keep temps from getting too high) and put some of the feeders out there for a few weeks or so? I would imagine, with the natural water, and all of the live foods that will be available could help their condition out tremendously. Then all you would have to do is harvest some out later to go in your tank. I've done this before with some swords and platties with GREAT success in a short amount of time.
