    I'm limited to 10 photos, but it doesn't seem like there's a limit on videos. I'll keep updating with videos until I can't. I removed the plastic plants and placed some frogbit and another floater in the tank. Main purpose was so I can actually see the fry better. They still have a lot of hiding spots if they were to swim towards the mid/upper levels.
