Are they hardy? I have a glass top over my aqaurium so they can't get
out. I have no aggresive fish in the tank. I could feed twice a day if
need be. What do you mean by prepared? I guess my question is are they
resistant to disease. DO you have problems feeding them? IS there any
info on the web about them?
