Unexpected spawn!

[TangoWRX]

I had the horrible task of moving my 400 litre (105 to you US dudes) tank as we were replacing the carpet in the room. While removing a rock I felt something move against my finger.. I looked down and almost died of shock.. my bristlenose pair had become a little friendly and had a spawn of fry.
They did this under a pile of granite rocks as we had no idea... but thinking back I could see the tail of one always in the same spot wiggling away for a few weeks.

They are now in a nursery tank in my little community tank while I think what I am going to do!

How old do you think they are??

Good idea, I was wondering what to feed them. They have had a munch on an algae wafer, and also some mini soft pellets for the fish.

What will you do with them?

Not 100% sure, I have a 100 litre tank ready for when they are bigger and then I guess I will offer them to my LFS or even put a local add out to sell them.

I put in some courgette (zucchini to the US readers) which they seemed to like. I have also had none die yet which I feel in a good sign as in the past with batches of fish fry I found a steady die off of the weak ones.
