Its a small breeder tank only 10 gal. Yes those are dwarf baby tears. Just filled the tank with RO mineralized water, added the heater and got the pump going today. The cycle is on its way. Thanks for all the positive coments.

sweet, cant wait to see the results. I almost ordered the OEBT myself but I had a long chat with a long time breeder and he hates them because they never breed true and are extremely finicky. The offspring are never as nice as the parents.

I went ahead and put in an order for some taiwans recently. 8 black king kongs and 2 wine reds are on the way.

This cost me more than a fancy lobster dinner at Canliss.
