New Nursery Tank

[jhawk__]

How does this look for a freshwater nursery tank? I will be adding my fry fish into it tomorrow. It's a 2.5 gallon desktop tank. Any design suggestions?

Add substrate

Fry tanks don't need substrate. They are easier to clean without it.

Looks good. I'm assuming they fry are in there now?

Add substrate

I added blue sand substrate a few days ago and rearranged a few things

That's what the lfs guy said but I eventually got blue sand substrate just so it would look nice.

And yep, they fry has been in there for 6 days now.

My big tank is a 26 gallon bow front :
4 black skirt tetras
1 red and black tetra
3 neon tetras
3 Cory catfish
2 guppies
3 red platys
1 dwarf gourami
1 albino pleco
2 mystery snails.

I'm thinking about getting a 10 gal to move all my live bearers into, so they can have their fry safely.

Could you post a pic of your imperial leopard frog pleco? I'm curious to see what it looks like
