I'm trying Oli's Ultimate Breeder on one of my pairs at the moment and if it works half as good as the supplement I will be happy .

[nwehrman]

Ouch, sometimes Austin water stinks. Hopefully it is just them cleaning up system and temporary. Fill an empty tank and age it some....the ammonia may actually be chloraminine... Causing you a mini cycle...

[Skip]

Goin to check after work

Oh my gosh Skip, your wee babies are SO big after only 4 weeks! Somehow I missed this thread completely and only just noticed it. That big guy is gonna out grow my big guys at the rate he's going. Heck, even the "average" guys are big. Good job! =)

I'm going to follow this intensely since I'm hoping that my Red Scrib and Brilliant are gonna get busy once my water main issue is straightened out. Gotta learn how to raise me some fry in a hurry.

Hope you get your water situation figured out fast. So far so good skip but don't you think it should be titled Week 10?
