Thanks so much guys. I tied some filter material around the intake as suggested (which also helped quiet the retardedly strong current in that little tank) and everyone seems to be doing very well. They are quite active and playful. I'm assuming I should keep them separated until they are at...

Well, much to my surprise when I was doing my weekly water change/fussing over my 40G 2 small fry came up to the edge of the glass and stared at me from beneath some fake floating ferns. After dropping the vacuum and checking the bucket to make sure I didn't nip any babies by accident I...
