Right now they might be too small to catch the fish, but if you kill the fish, they will probably eat them.



3-4" of water for now is fine - watch them for a couple of days to make sure they're healthy before making it deeper. A 20 gallon tank should last you a year if you like, before they outgrow it. You don't want the in-take on the filter to be too strong.



Call the NYC health department and complain - NYC has the 4" regulation in their city code. Call the ASPCA in NYC, too, since it was a humane issue as well - and do me a favor, get the name of the person you talked with at the ASPCA.
