6-30-2009: I can't believe it's been six weeks!

[Ryan]

I'm noticing a lot of growth in a couple of the fish and still not much more in the rest. The colors have gotten noticeably more yellow as they've grown.

The fish are still getting a 90% water change every day and four to five feedings. They're enjoying beefheart, bloodworms, ONF1 flakes, ONF1 pellets, and occasionally some ONF2 for a snack. It can't hurt to have some veggies, right?

hello Ryan,
with all the water changes and balance diet they look great! you're doing an excellent job. BTW how big were they when you started the competition? thanks.:)

[Ryan]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

The fish were about 2.5 - 3" when I first got them. I think I posted pictures of one next to a measuring tape in the first thread.
