I figured that by the end of the first month I will have an idea of how many babies I will have left to grow out. I think it's why so many are born at first. Survival of the fittest is pretty much what seem to go on in most fry tanks.

That's usually how it works in nature, the more offspring there are the more likely that only a few will make it in the end.
Also it's true that it's too cold to ship right now... may have to put one on hold then, or from a future batch. sorry mm

I have been siphoning all the debris and what not with airline tubing, using water that is in bucket and rubbermaid containers. They are in a 33g so I just take about 4/5g out each water change, it fill the bucket. Then I scan the bucket for the itty bitty fry. Usually find a few, but not last night water change. They must be getting stronger.
No filter yet...these guys are too small for big movement. The sponge filters are suppose to be best tho. That what I will be getting soon.
I've been following this book: He is/was apart of the IBC.
