Adorable, on a side note tho don't keep the gravel in there too long, they will eat gravel and it will impact their intestines and kill em. With RES and stuff just try to make sure it can't fit in their mouth. however you can go with sand and if they eat it they will just poo it right out with no problems. A bag of play sand should do the trick. I have 3 in my pond and I like the look however if you get sand make sure you rinse it really really good. I thought I had but I did it all wrong and ended up with a murky pond for a week had to do plenty of 50% wc, filter emptying and cleaning and waiting for it to clear up
 
thxs for telling me about the gravel i did not know that. I will get some sand out of my 125 i don't really like it in there anymore

55 i've only had them for 4 or 5 days now so i don't notice if there getting are bigger from a few days ago. I've been feeding them twice a day is that good for them being babies or should i feed more, because sometimes they seem really hungry when i do feed them.
 
probably gonna need a new tank for um eventually. I had mine in a 75 and they even got to big for that.
 
Sorry if I missed it but those little guys will be dead soon if you don't get a uvb bulb on them ASAP. Don't drag your feet if you don't have one. It is VERY important.
