First let me say im no expert at this and im trying it for the first time. I've had my fish spawn before but never interested in growing them out, for the most part I let them be and they became feeders. Now im going to try to grow them out. I've made it past the eggs and wigglers they are free swimmers i believe you would say. Just started feeding them baby brine shrimp x2 daily. I have the them housed in a 5g bucket (filled 3" from the top)for now with a sponge filter. I make a daily WC of 50%-70%, depending tempature, smell of the water (yes). Trust me I have been reading different threads here trying to make sure im doing the right thing. Any extra advise or do's-n-dont's are greatly appreciated.
BTW they are carpintis "chairel" probably 80-150 count.
 
You seem to be doing all the right things so far. I suggest putting them in a small tank probably a 20-30g would do them till they reach a half inch or so.

Can we see some pics? :)
