How do YOU care for your baby Indo's?

[RedDwarf]

29 tall
50% wc weekly (aged water from my plant tank)
350watt heater with seperate temp probe 85F
bare bottom (makes siphoning the bottom so much easier)
huge chuck of aged drift wood
eclipse 3 hood with aged bio-wheel
hydor airo 4 with moonlight
free feeding blackworms, when they run out I put another ounce in there
lost a few the first day but since then they are all swimming around fighting the current

was gonna put them in a 55 with a larger dat and a 10 inch jardini but as i saw how small the baby dats are , obvious it wasn't going to work.
so they went into a 30 gallon with brand new water from tap + dechlor. filters are eclipse built-in filter and a small internal filter.
80f
15% water change every 2,3 days
no loss

i have 20 in a 29g biocube. temp @ 84. sand bottom and large lace rock for them to hide. feeding bloodworm twice a day might bump up to 3 times cause they are fighting for food everytime i feed. water change is 5 gallon every 2 days. i put an airstone in the tank because i heard o2 is lost at higher temp. so far so good.

Eating live tubifex 24x7 and feeding frzn blood worms n brine shrimp 3-5x daily. I had to put my 3x 4'' ntt in w/ them cause one of my endli's ate one ntt. Lookn good...the ntt are sissys....always hiding, while IT's are cruising being attention whores.

I have 22 babies in a 60g.
2 AC 110's and a BioWheel 350.
25% water change 2 times a week.
Temp at 87. They really like the warm water and I prefer it to prevent disease.
Feeding them a variety of foods.... frozen bloodworms at first, then brine shrimp, then mysis shrimp and today they were eating cut up market shrimp. I feed em about 5 times a day, as much as they can eat in 2 minutes.
Barebottom tank. It's the first time I've ever had a barebottom tank and I love it. The current from my filters is pretty strong and any leftover food gets blown upwards and eaten by one of my baby indos.

So far, so good. They are all doing well and eating like fat guys at a Vegas buffet. I think variety of foods is really key for them at this size. I'm going to try to get them to eat ground up carnivore soon.
