I haven't been paying attention to my quarantine tank, since I haven't had
fish in it in several months. There has been no heater since the last
time
I had fish in it, although there's a corner filter that's been running
continuously. I was quite surprised with today I noticed a .5" neon
tetra
in there. The water temp was around 65f so I turned on the heater to
bring
it up to about 70f. I tested the water and ammonia and nitrates are zero,
pH is off the scale to the high side.

What do I need to do before I can put this little guy into my community
tank? It's heavily planted, but I'd still worry a bit about him getting
eaten. I also don't want him to just die of shock. Is .5" really small
for
a fry that has to be at least 3 or 4 months old? Since I haven't been
feeding him I guess he's just been living off whatever was in the tank.
What should I start feeding him?
