New tank arrives on Tuesday, my old one is going tomorrow. I have 4 remaining thorichthys helleri fry left all about 1cm, not sure if I should get rid of them tomorrow or add them to the new tank and let them grow big enough to sex. I am aiming for a all male tank and catching any females in a large scaped tank would be a pain. Any thoughts
 
Just keep them and hope you have more males than females. It is a pain but it can be done lol

Why are you getting rid of the old tank? What size is the old and new ones? Why don't you just put the little fry in a smaller growout like a 29g and let them grow a bit until u can sex them? Why don't you want any females?

Why is the sky blue? Just kidding Frank. I am curious as well.

Upgrading my 180 to a 215 gal 195 cm by 70 cm footprint. This is going to be my only tank for a while due to having to make space for a pregnant daughter. I don't want any breeding at the moment, fry are a pain in the ass and so is the aggression that goes along with it.
The all male tank is going far better then I could have hoped for.
