Where do you find your plastic plants? That one on the back is neat.
So this is your tank for babies??

I bought them on line. The one in the back is the center piece from the one closest to the sponge filter. I was messing around trying to glue it to a suction cup, and pushed in the bototm and it pushed it out like that, so
I just glued it.
Yes this is for any babies I get

Tank looks great! If it's not too much of an inconvenience during cleaning/siphoning.... I would add another sponge filter. The more bacteria you can get growing the better. Plus...if the adults bless you with another brood when the first brood is only a couple weeks old, you can pull one of the sponge filters and set up an instant tank :)
Looks really good though, great job!

UPDATE--I noticed I didnt have the tank size. This is a 20 gal tank. two 120l sponge filters.
ok, so most of you know My fry are now 16 days old.
I did add another sponge filter to this tank
Here is my schedule-at least I try to keep to this everyday
morning, I feed 2 to 3 day old enriched bbs, add a cap full of amiquil plus, and a few drops of formalin for itching.
after they have fed, I syphone the bottom with a long piece of rigid tub attached to an air line.
Mid day I feed again.
evening I feed again and after they are done I syphone to bottom again.
before bed I may give them just a little more.
today I also gave them a cube of frozen bbs before the enriched bbs. Some of the bigger fry were seen sniking a few but not many.
I am also going to start giving them some cyclopeze before thier morning live.
