I have the mutiny going on with the mana x fry.  Fed them their first bbs this morning.  I've been giving the parents frozen bloodworms to keep them well fed.  Hopefully this will stop them from making the fry a snack.

There looking good Jon. I only have duck weed in one tank. I have to clear it out all the time. It will block the light for the rest of the plants in there if I don't. I think I can watch it grow and spread.

That sounds great Jon.  My mana x are letting their fry swim about too, though they did snack on some.
