Dovii- which tank should I raise them in

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Glad you decided to out them in the 370. If you ever want to catch them as they grow and you thin their numbers, a good trick is lowering the water level down to a few inches and that makes them easy to catch. That’s what I do to remove fish from a heavily scaped tank.
Good luck on taking them. Start a journal. Would love to experience them through your posts.

That’s a great idea I’ll definitely use that method. So simple, yet I didn’t think of that. And great idea on the journal too. I swear they’ve already grown this week.

Also, use an appropriately sized piece of egg crate (light diffuser material) to corral them into smaller sections of the tank, along with a larger net. Makes netting them out far easier! They are definitely jumpers, so make sure they can't exit the confines of the tank!

Well quick update. It’s just a guess but I’d say the fish are only 2.5 inches, but they’re seems to already be two different pairs forming. Both pairs have dug pits and I even saw a male shooting sperm, although I didn’t see eggs. Sorry the photos are terrible. Below are what I think are two pairs (4 different fish)
