I got them out and we began to look for others.In all we found 16 fry and now have them in an extra 10 gallon tank we had.

If so, what are your eventual plans for them? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Their lemon yellows and unfortunatly I really don't have the room for them once they've matured in the tank they were in. So when they get a little bigger I'll probably carry them to the LFS and do some trading.Somehow he usally doesn't mind trading 16 fish for 2 or 3.

As for health, if you have a milk gallon carton laying around, get 2 of those or one would be fine. Every day or every other day, just cut a little of plastic off top of carton, one gallon water change, it will help ensure their survival and growth. As they are more e to good water parimeters.
