You will know, so will get big real quick. I isolate them to their own tank.

my biggest problem is that they used the hiacynths the sticky guys are all over them ,eggs too! and they are invisible in the roots,even on the leaves barely seen
and iwas thinking of buying a roll of window screen (nylon) and making a floating cage for them in the basement pond. seeing as tho i never pumped the water out, there are still fish down there,cause my friend has put his pond on hold. so i thought i could start them in the cage and transfer out as they become large enough. or put a nylon over the prefilter and get a smaller statuary pump and just pump the water thru a zeolite chamber.

I had some fuzzy eggs,,most were the white ones that were not fertilized..
I read something that said not to worry about them..So i gave the good ones a few extra days to hatch, and then took every thing out .The unhatched eggs smelled . Good riddens
