This morning i found some little baby Cherry Barb's swimming in and out of some java moss! I am actually quite astounded they survived their tank mates and are the size they are. I am also pretty proud that my barbs are happy enough to want to breed! But it is very scary! I do not have a breeding tank for them, as I really didn't think that i would have a breeding problem. With everything I've read, the breeding parameters for any fish are so meticulous it seems. I guess i just have a happy school of barbs. Anyways... Is there anything i can do for the little guys? or is it basically a circle of life environment for them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If this becomes a frequent thing i might invest in a 10 gallon tank :)

Thanks in advance!
 
Haha yea! I put them in a large mesh nursery within my tank :) they are doing quite well. Only 5 or 6 but getting bigger! No one can bother them in there. Works awesome
