use a 5- 10 gallon tank
have a heater sponge filter and lights.

you can go bare tank or sand as a substrate.

when they die. let the tank and substrate completley dry out. then add more spring water and have the light on and more will hatch.

try feeding them guppies. i fed mine a couple guppies and they grew big much larger than half an inch.
