I know it might sound crazy but I've got no idea how many I have wink.gif . Theres so many and they move so quickly, its hard to get a head count. I know I have at LEAST 30, probably more krazy.gif Now I've got to figure out what I'm going to do with all of them. I'm going to dig a bigger pond this sprind but still, thats a ton of fish! The babies will prolly be set loose in the 55 gal once the parents go out for the summer. they should really grow then wink.gif I guess I've got a bit of time yet before I've got to figure out a solution, maybe something will come along in the mean time smile.gif

When they first hatched and became free swimming I fed them cooked egg yolk. When they were a couple weeks old I started feeding them Hikari First Bites. They still eat that now but they also eat frozen brine shrimp and crushed flakes and goldfish crumbles. I should have started them on the Hikari right away but I couldn't get ahold of it right away. biggrin.gif
