First off, don't cross post. When you hit reply, look and see what
newsgroups your message is going to, if your news reader doesn't let you
know with a prompt.

Anyway should I be thanking folks for their answers?


That's always nice. :-) At least we know we weren't wasting our time

giving
it.

OK, the area that they are in is quite small, say approx 20 - 30

gallons.

That's pretty small. So I'd say supplement their food. You can buy

liquid
fry food at an aquarium store.

There could be anywhere between 50 - 100 or more or less, who knows how

to
count the fry!


Try to reduce that number, or they will by eating each other.... and

that's
okay too, natural selection. The biggest problem is water quality as

they
grow with that many.

So when & if & what should I be putting into their environment?


You might want to pick up some test kits so you can monitor the ammonia,
nitrite, pH, & KH.

Thanks for some answers that don't totally confuse me with all the

other
nonsense.


Just delete the nonsense next time and keep what's relevant, the kooks

are
those who can't keep their goofiness in their own newsgroups... but
crossposting will draw them here faster than a picnic draws hornets in
August. ~ jan

Thanks & OK, I never understood about cross posting, but I see that if I
reply to some answers it actually goes to a number of other sites.
Please excuse my ignorance & I will ensure in future that I check before
sending & delete those other groups. How do they get there in the first
place when I'm only trying to reply to this group? Oh well probably too hard
to explain to me, but I do appreciate your help, (everyone that is!)
Please excuse this old girl for being so trusting!!!
