Tubbing it for the summer!

[msjinkzd]

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):

Looking good MsJ! You should have lots of those beauties by the end of summer, I would think!

I hope so!

Nice work Rach! I hope they do well for you in that setup.

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

nice tubs

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.

Good! They are too pretty to be oscar snacks.

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!
