Nice fish, next time try to focus the shot a little more, lol. Personally though, I wouldn't let my fish breed at such a small size. Stunts their growth.
holy cow theres alot congrats. Id look into finding out if u need to seperate them, you dont want to wake up and their all gone.
I hadn't intended for them to breed just yet.. I was just hoping to find a compatible pair. They had other plans obviously.. Anyways now that I have fry, does anyone know how to care of these? I've never raised fry before.. nor have I researched into it. I figured I'd have a little more time before I'd have to worry about it.
Put them in a separate tank, filter, a small balanced staple pellet for them and change the water frequently. They'll grow like mad.

It doesnt stunt, it just slows, they'll still reach their adult size, it will just take longer.
GL with the fry
