The pumpkinseeds showed up last Friday and all were alive and looked healthy. They were a little smaller than I was expecting, so I decided to put them in a little tote with an aquarium filter rather than the actual system. This also allowed me to put a heater in there, so the water is in the low 70s right now. They are eating well, and they seem to prefer flake food over the crushed up pellets.

For max growth, what temperature should I have the water, and how many times a day should I be feeding? Do they look like they will be old enough to spawn this summer?
