Nice!! You gonna keep them? Or you gonna use them for feeders? I am seriously thinkin of gettin some cons so i can breed them for just this reason. Safer, and they are like a never ending supply! LoL! Congrats!
LOL!! Thats classic that Ben and I both said the same thing about using them for feeders!! :ROFL:

Right now they are still eating parents slime coat(i think) but i drop in some omega one tubifex worms and JumboMin food sticks(just cause they break apart eazily and sink fast. When do u think i should take the babies out and put them in a 5g hex i have set up??

Soon....like at 1/4" or so. You will have to feed them while they are still small. Once they start reachin 1/2" and 1" they will be a pain for the other fish to eat cuz of their dorsal spines...:S
