They been doing fine. Have to slowly acclimate them, but they are brackish water fish anyway. Stores keep them fresh but they do better in salt. And they munch on algae, tho not in significant amounts Sent from my HTC6525LVW using proboards Attachments:

I bought them fresh water. Drip acclimated them in a container over about 8 hours then put them in the tank. Some people do it longer, some shorter. Longer is obviously better but it can be done in 4-6 hrs to. I lowered the sg in my tank some to before adding them.

Nothing that will eat them other than some rics lol. They would likely be sucked up by the filter anyway, if the adults don't eat them first. I may put a crab in tho once the peppermint is gone.
