The pygmies are full grown (well almost, still a little growing to do) and the lamp eyes are fry in the same tank but these are 4 weeks old (ish) and basically developed but mini lamps. I have a mini 2.5g but would be able to heat it, have a breeder trap net but the holes are too big and he could escape!

do you think the other lamp eye frys have big enough mouths to eat it? the 2.5g would be fine if the other lampeyes are big enough to eat them.

hmmmm in all honesty I do not know..having a look at them now they look blooming enormous.. Will see if can find some sort of spare heater somewhere. If not how would it be to place the tank above our storage heater that keeps the window seal real warm?
