The setup

just a plastic sterlite box about 4 gallons
picotope filter i think
driftwood
airstone
algae laden plants and breeder cage...im trying to seed the tank and get as much algae growth as possible
heater
i think thats it
oh...yea the 9 watt light on top

 

[C2C]

sorry about the quality of the pictures
its hard to get a picture cause theyre so small about 1/2inch
i used macro and iso and it still came out like this

 

[C2C]

i think they grow by the day...lol

 

[C2C]

i took more pictures today and ill upload them laterq

 

[Tex Gal]

Boy are they little. Good luck with them.

Looks like a nice fry setup!

Only, you might need to keep an eye that the heater doesn't melt the plastic...

 

[C2C]

yea that was a big concern of mine...i got a suction cup to hold it off and its pretty warm in my room so its rarely on i have to have a fan blow across the top to keep it under 80
i check it as often as possible...thanks for the concern

Cute littler buggers! Glad they are eating for you. Good luck with them!

 

[C2C]

thanks
hopefully ill get a nice male and female out of them

 

[C2C]

i guess ill have to get a rid of the extras

 

[Dr. Acula]

Ha, I currently have some fish in plastic bins too. Sick ones, though, not babies, so I guess you're better off.

OMG my LFS is bringing in big ones for $20US
and i get 33% off..dang it

 

[LeTigra]

Yeah but think how good it'll feel raising your own from tiny and then selecting two and having them breed, as opposed to just buying two big ones from the LFS. It'll be an achievement - it'll feel good.
I got tiny babies from a shop about 4 months ago, they're getting big now. Its really nice to see them healthy and growing. Can't wait til I get babies - think its gonna be a while though

Good luck with your babies!
