thats awesome. keep this thread updated. Thanks!
 
I will try to update once a week. I will also try to get better pictures. These were taken from my phone. Quality is poor, but I was trying to get a shot of the extended gills.
 
hummmmm just a thought i think small polys are cannibalistic on each other that could be part of the reason the number id dwindling. Though it should die down a bit. Mabye try adding a plant or wood for them to hide in and around.
 
Good point. Have plants and cover for fry. Will have to see if I have to separate soon. Not sure if i have the space to do it. Anyone know if they can be kept like Betas?
