Actually no not the julies yet (but what is an IIRC?). I have a community tank that I don't spend much time with other than water changes and feeding, and I just noticed the harlequin rasboras spawned and my guppy is giving birth right now. I usually let the guppy fry go but I want to save them this time around, so I threw her in a mesh breeder box.

Hey Katie, just in case my PMs didn't go through....you can have the two filters you asked about in my sales thread for $25. (one A.C.50 and one A.C.20)

What do you feed your fish currently? I typically feed my fry the leftover itsy-bitsy pieces of flake food that my larger fish won't easily eat.

Oh okay, I thought you had to feed them baby brine shrimp. I feed brine shrimp, spirulina flake, and nls. I will just crush up some flakes for them. Thanks for the tip :)

No longer looking for filter - I am going to try out this filter for my fry tank

http://www.petsmart.com/fish/filters/top-fin-multi-stage-internal-filter-zid36-20868/cat-36-catid-300088

I'm hoping it should be fine because it is filtered through a sponge.

STILL LOOKING FOR 50W HEATER - will be at meeting 4/10
