They are much smaller than I expected also. That might be why they are balking at eating their frozen mysis.
I am afraid that they could actually fit through the teeth of my overflow in my display so it is good that I have a protein skimmer on the 10 gallon QT. I could put some sort of netting over the overflow of the DT until they get bigger.

You are going to have to invite us back over to check out the new build and the new babies.

Yes, I would love to have you all over as soon as the tank settles in.

Good news! Boaz ate frozen mysis for the first time this morning.
He and Ruth seem to finally be settling in.

Next is teaching these babies to recognise the turkey baster. They are such tiny peanuts that they could get lost in the 56 gallon tank. But if they start to associate the turkey baster with chow, then they will come running (I mean swimming) when they see it! Otherwise I will adding a tremendous amount of broad cast mysis to the tank to make sure they get enough and that many drawbacks.

I added a rio powerhead to the bottom left of the tank to keep particles in suspension. I prefer equipment to be out of sight as much as possible so I covered it up with a little rock, coral and dragon's breath. That changed the aquascape some but I think I like it.

I did not offer the new ponies any live food yesterday in hopes that they would eat their frozen mysis with more enthusiasm. It worked wonderfully!

So you like the new aquascape? I think I do too. I usually do not work with 3 rock structures but compositionally that is a good design. Sometimes new changes have to grow on me.

Thank you both for your imput. It always helps to hear others opinion.
I am loving this new tank more all the time. Today I brought up a large mag cleaner that I have not used in years. I just never trusted them with a sandbed not to pick up a granule of sand and scratch the tank. That is not a problem with this tank, ha ha!
