fry

will a ten gallon tank do the trick?

What kind of horses, how many fry? Actually, a five gal. would be better. You want to have enough food density so that the fry don't exhaust themselves trying to chase it down, and on the other hand you don't want to have so much food that it contaminates the fry tank.

what you should do is get a 5 gal bucket with a sponge filter.

The tank size is the least of your worries. You will need to culture live food and feed the little guys 4-6 times daily and monitor water quality very closely. Baby brine shrimp (bbs) will work but must be fed out within 6 hours after hatching to be nutritous enough. Decapping makes bbs even more nutritous. Only a small percent of reidi fry can even eat a bbs ... reidi do best on rotifers for the first week or two. If the fry are pelagic, like reidi fry are, you will need a way to keep them off the surface. A kreisel mechanism works best imo. If they are benthic they will need lots of tiny hitches. Chaeto works good.

I suspect you have a lot of research to do before he gets pregnent. Raising fry isn't trivial ... it will take some dedication.
