So after discovering 2 babies survived in my peacock tank, I was considering relocating them to a 1.5gallon or purchasing yet another 5g tank.
Instead we ended up making a DIY fry trap that floats at the top of the tank. We were able to catch the 2 babies and put them in it during our water change today.
Here's a pic of the 2 peacock babies, so cute lol they are about 1/2 inch long
Now after its all said and done, the parents are circling the tub like sharks and I realize- while this would've been a good idea a few weeks ago, it's probably better for them to move to the 1.5 gallon right? My bf really doesn't want me to buy a new 5g tank for them, (I will do it anyway) so is the 1.5g a better idea right now vs the fry trap?-just until I can go ahead and get a 5g or 10g setup in a week or so?
