I know babies aren't too exciting to look at. But i'm excited I got him. :) Her..him.. we'll see. I'm hoping its a boy.

I had the guy pull out about 8 of them and stick them in a cup to look at. Some where bigger and out of all of them this one was the smallest. I picked him because while the rest were scared out of their minds, this one seemed not to care that he was removed from his universe and placed in a plastic cup. He started looking for food while he was in there.

So I took the tiny guy home and put him in my 10 gallon by himself to grow out a little before he goes in the 125 which he will also have all to himself. I plopped in a veggie round and he immediately attacked it and stuffed himself as it softened.

I cant wait to see this baby grow. I hope its a boy!

How long do you think he can stay in the 10 gallon? He's only about .5"-1" right now. Teeny Tiny. (like I said, he's alone) before he gets too big. 2 months? 3 months? just wondering. (and if you're wondering the tank is cycled) both of them are.

Very nice!
Once he gets 3 inches or so you can move him out, you can even place him in the 125 now and he´ll grow faster, but im guessing you have other fish in there now.
If it´s female might grow slower
 
Thanks!
and actually, he wont be completely by himself in the 125. There's a tinfoil barb. lol He's small enough that even the tinfoil barb might eat him right now. That's why he's in the 10 gallon. :)

Once he gets bigger the tables will turn!! LOL
 
Yea lol if it's male then that barn might not live in the 125 for much longer. Keep us updated with him/her! You'll know quickly if its a boy, it'll grow like crazy! Here's mine, bought him at an inch like yours, and a year and 2 months later he's about 13"
