The greatest challenge to successfully raising the pupfish fry may be feeding them enough, while at the same time keeping their water clean.
For example, the Tecopa Bore population of C. nevadensis, which inhabits a series of hot spring pools, may reach sexual maturity within one month of hatching and there may be as many as ten generations per year in the pools (Stolz and Naiman, 1978).
Desert Pupfish, perhaps because of their slower growth, are one of the largest pupfish, reaching about three inches.

The Tecopa pupfish (Cyprinodon nevaensis) was first described in 1948 from the outflow streams of the north and south Tecopa Hot Springs, north of Tecopa, California.
In 1970, the declining Tecopa pupfish population was listed on both the federal and California endangered species lists due to habitat alteration and introductions of exotic species, primarily bluegill sunfish and mosquito fish.

The artesian spring at Tecopa Bore near Death Valley, the Amargosa pupfish C. nevadensis amargosae have been found in temperatures as high as 107 F. Interestingly, the water comes from the ground at a lethal 118 F but cools by 14 to 20 degrees as it flows over a distance of some 900 feet.
The pupfish occupy the mats of blue green algae that line the shore, and only in the areas at or below 107 F. In the winter, the cooling occurs much faster, and the maximum 107 F range moves closer to the source making available portions of the habitat previously in the lethal temperature range.
And as a new flush of very hot water emanates from the spring, the fish rush away ahead of the lethally hot water stream until it cools to the tolerable 107 F range.
