    This is going to be my grow out tank... Most of the current plants were kindly donated by Time-out. Got more plants ordered and due next week so I will add pics as things progress.

    Kel at what kind of age are you going to move the fry into the grow out tank? I am thinking after the disaster with my MG's (two surviving) that I might do something similar..

    prob between the 1-3 weeks old, also going to overload it with live daphnia too so there's always something for them to nibble on between feeds.

    Contemplating doing some fairy shrimp as well... not sure if I could get a big enough colony of them going though that the babbies won't much within days lol
