Feed sparingly and experiment a bit. I like Sally's frozen baby brine
shrimp for small growing tetras, but there are many other options. Do
try to give him some food that he would eventually get in the community
tank. When you eventually set him loose, do it unobtrusively, though the
back of the tank, in the evening, with the lights off. Will he ever be
surprised by all the room :~)



Since the main tank is "heavily planted" I'm going to assume that the PH is
7 or below. Wouldn't it be a good idea to slowly lower the PH in the Q-tank
to avoid shocking the little bugger?
