Answer
Hi Elizabeth;

Wow! How exciting! The adults may eat them so provide live plants for them. The babies will hide in and feed off of them. They are probably really liking the driftwood. Plenty of tiny microscopic organisms to feed off of on there.

You could move them but it can be risky. They are hard to catch and they could go into shock. Use a sponge filter so they don't get sucked up into anything. They are run with an air pump and are slow flowing.

Have fun and good luck!
