What size to be added to larger tank with substrate

[hypno monkey]

Hey, just a quick question on what size I should add my axies(2") to their larger tank with substrate (caribsea sand) they are in a big enough tank at the moment (bare bottom) but just checking everything in advance.

Regards

At two inches I would be tempted to keep them in their smaller tank, purely so they can find their food more easily. What are they currently eating?

They are currently on bloodworms, they have already caught on to people+tweezers=food haha so everytime we pass they beg and follow us. Yea gonna keep them in the smaller tank for a bit but just wondering when you would recomend moving them to their big tank(already cycled)

thanks

Somewhere between 3 and 4 inches should be fine.

I've had my babies in a tank with substrate, a very fine sand, since they were 2" long. As soon as they were happily eating blood worm and live black worms and I was confident they were able to feed properly with little input from me. I watched them closely for the first few days but I haven't had to remove any to smaller containers/tanks and I haven't lost any either.
The are now 7-8cm and are very good at finding the blackworms that made it into the sand and eating them and they are spitting out the sand. such amazing little critters.
