surprise reproduction

Hello,

i keep growing fish in simple plastic tanks and have a couple of apistogramma trifasciata waiting to be sold.
surprise this morning i see a whole bunch of fry swarming in the tank.

I took the opportunity to remove some of them (I sucked them up with an air pump hose and placed them in a very small plastic tank with only 6cm of water that I'd been preparing for several weeks.

In it I found java moss, organic matter (bits of dead leaves, decomposing wood) and floating plants that had spent time in an outdoor pond, so were well seeded with micro-organisms.

I've placed a microheater inside. the parameters are 30ppm and t°27.

so they should be in good growing conditions, and perfectly independent in their feeding.

I planned the same type of tank in a larger size for a higher stage of development.

With the current temperatures, could I even grow them outdoors ?
