explode figuratively of course.

i had a hunch, so i put the mom in the breeder net. next morning..POW! a whole crapload of them! =)

I have them in a seperate tank...20gal. 1/2 water from my 33gal and have sitting water with dechol/stresscoat. used my AC mini filter which was on the 33gal aswell (have a AC 200 on there now)

i have a cut sponge on the ACmini so no lil fry gets sucked up. i have an SAE and a blue mystery snail in the tank aswell so they get used to bigger fish and things.

I've been putting in finely crushed flake food, 2 shrimp pellets a sinking spirulina tab (for the algae eater)

what else should i do?

Allan!
 
And If you really want to, you could buy Hikari fry food. Its a fine powder and just sick your finger in the package and scoop a tiny amount (its a lot more food than you think, trust me). I believe it is called baby bites... ...I could be wrong. Hope this helps!
 
If you have any Java moss growing in the other tank trasnfer it, this will give them something to graze on. They don't eat the moss, but it houses a lot of little organisms that they will gladly eat and enjoy. Not necessary, but nice.
