If you put in the work to raise them you deserve the rewards.

O btw I absolutely love that colorful knife urchin u made

There is no major flow in the tank at the moment. We are water changing from the sump and the tank is looking better than it has in a while, lol..

I use a syringe with a hose tube on it and feed into the urchin. Seems to work quite well actually.

Hubby made a slight calculation error with regards to the size of the holes in the containment area.....or they wouldn't be in there, trust me.

They will be getting a larger urchin made with straws this weekend to give them more room. That one was for the container.

Hoping to see them all make it to saleable age, it's good for the hobby and rewarding too!

I also looked fondly at this project but right now am not able to raise fry.

I absolutely LOVE the urchin!!! That is Awesome!!!

I want to put claim towards some of the fry once you are going to trade/sell them!!!! I have 1 now and would like 4 or so more to have a little school.....

[EmilyB]

Sure Brian! Although, they don't school when mature, they pair up.

Sorry for using this thread for updates, but since I started...

Kids got a bigger urchin today, tried the straw thing I read about, just try getting that sucker to sink.......

[EmilyB]

The kids are growing like weeds, and they are starting to act like real fish They all come running over when I bring out the feeding syringe. They are starting to separate a bit into groups of 5 or so.

For whatever strange reason, my tank is really doing well with the low flow, I turn on a power head here and there for a bit but that's it.
