Have a 20long that was a temp grow out tank and decided to turn it into a food factory for my rays to suppliment the talapia, shrimp and mainly massivore based diet they have been on.
Finally came across someone locally with marble crays which clone themselves and I picked up 4 under an inch.
Also have a few pairs of mollies in there and will be removing the tons of snails I see in my eheim 2250 intake tube when I upgrade my pump this weekend or next week.
The mollies will be more for my entertainment to watch the rays and dats go after them as the fry are generally small, the marbled crays same deal and the snails breed like crazy on their own and will be more accesable to use as feeders if I can get them out of my eheim and into this 20 long.
Figure these new food sources will give my fish something to search for in the tank and hunt besides dead stuff (shrimp talapia and pellets)
Running a eheim 2213 with a heater and some low light live plants to give the babies a place to hide
Will post picture tomorrow. Oh also have a trio of otto cats in there to help clean up a bit.
