Following on from my BNP set-up question, I've found some but they're perhaps 1cm in size.
They appear active and "jittery" in a way only tiny fish can be, if that makes sense, all over the stones, seemingly searching for food. Although I don't have a specific tank set up for them yet I do have a quarantine tank that I can add bogwood and some "nitrate-eating" plants into which is small enough that I won't lose them completely - I may actually occasionally see them! And as they grow I'll be looking for a larger, more suitable home for them. If I do pick them up I'll be putting them in a tank on their own through fear of them being eaten at their teeny-tiny size
At this size are they too fragile to be moved? Are they still at a stage where fatality rate is high? If I get 4-6 should I expect to lose a couple just because of how small they are?
All advice welcome
Thanks again
