I have 17 fry - would they be ok in a 10 gallon tank with a
filter and air stone? Or best to leave them in a large tub?
Wondering if they'd be able to find food?

Remember not to fill the tank with more than 6 inches of water.

They are very delicate at this age, if you move them be very careful.

I like sponge filters for raising fry, if it is established it will
have things that the fish can eat. they seem to find food without
much trouble.
