I set up an 80g stock tub on my deck for a meteor minnow breeding project. Its nothing fancy, but I am hoping to get lots of babies. I am going to add a ton of daphnia and plants later today, then let it run for a week or so and add the minnows.
Here are the minnows:


Here is the first tub (I have 2 to set up):

Those are pretty. (the minnows, but the tubs aren't bad either!)
Are they going to be feeders for your big boys?

No, they won't be feeders. I just really like them and have had a hard time finding more so figured I would breed them and offer them for sale. I have platies and other livebearers as feeders for the big boys when needed.

I really like the look of the tubs with the wood around it!
Where these tubs sold as a fish pond liner or are they some type of feed/water tub for livestock?
Good luck with the breeding!
