For those of you that use a feeding tank, could you describe to me your setup? Is this a smaller tank/tub you have setup full time with a sponge filter/smaller HOB or do you fill a container as needed with aquarium water or.....?

I don't think anyone has it setup for full time use. I have a separate sink to use for them, so I just match water temps. If you have strong chlorine levels, then I would probably dechlorinate first.

I just use an old cooler. I put tank water maybe 3"deep in it. Feed them then dump the water out.

Thanks guys! Trying to make sure everyone in my crew gets their own share and some seem rather determined that this will be the time they can swim through the glass.

Nice! Have you ever had to deal with any of your females laying eggs or anything of that nature?
