Congratulations on your new little babies! I had two batches 5 days apart. Total of 34 fry. The first batch is 6 weeks old today. They have slowly dwindled down and now I have 9 left. So I wouldn't worry about what to do with them. You will probably lose some along the way. I've read here that 50% mortality is not unreasonable. Don't want to make you feel sad, but that's been my experience.

Well, you could give some to your friends (unless you have no friends! - unlikely)
Even if they do not keep fishes, you can get them started by giving them some.

dont give it to a friend! they will die instantly! these little suckers are so sensitive .. pH has to be perfect along with temp/air/ and all other water balacing.. good luck with them.. put them in a breeder net!
