Hi. I've had some false harlequin rasboras for about 9 months in a small (10 gallon) tank in my kitchen. I recently noticed a single, small fish swimming around. Obviously a soul survivor from a first spawning. But since the temperature has risen outdoors over the last couple of weeks there has been a second spawning and there are now between 10-15 fry swimming around the tank. I don't have room for a growing out tank so they will have to stay in with the adults (1m,2f).
Are these fish usually tricky to breed ?
What would be my best route to sell or give away these fish once they get bigger? LFS or are there any good private sales groups online ? Thanks

Greetings & welcome to
Breeding Rasbora is pretty easy given the right conditions.
Feed fry either on infusoria, vinegar eels, microworms, newly hatched brine shrimp or you could try boiled egg yolk (be careful how much you use) You could try a starter food like Liquid fry food.
Once large enough, most local aquatics will take them in exchange.

WARNING - DO NOT BREED, FEED OR PET THE PUDDLE!

Welcome to the forum.
If you go with Liquifry, then do water changes an hour after feeding as it tends to pollute the water if left. They'll need it 3 times a day, so it can be a bit of a pain....
