Micky is a percussionist. The baby catfish are the size of a 1/2 drop of water with a 1/8" tail. Can't tell how many there are because they get lost in the gravel. Next time, no gravel. Until the fish breed once you usually use gravel to keep them happy. However, once they discover the joys of sex they no longer care about gravel. Here's somrthing a little strange. To attach tanks to a central filter there has to be a hole drilled through the tank, usually 1 3/4". PVC fiittings go through the hole. A good ten gal tank is about $10. It's $20 just to drill the hole so the the hole cost more than the tank. I've bought enough tanks though and they want my fish bad enough that I'm now getting the holes for $15. The equipment to drill holes your self is about $250. I thought about buying it but didn't because small tanks are hard to drill. It's very easy to crack them. You don't want to learn how to use the equipment on a small tank. You'd probably crack quite a few before mastering it. Also, you gotta go slow on small tanks. Drilling 20 tanks is at least 6 hours work unless you have much more expensive equipment. The 10 gals get ordered drill, the 15s the store does themselves. I did crack 3 tanks setting up my system. With larger tanks you can slide them a 1/4" if you need to. I learned the hard way this can't be done with small tanks.
