Yes, three times daily. Twice with home made beefheart (morning and evening) and once with an atuo feeder (pellets). The pellets that I feed are non color enhancing. I wanted to get the true color of the fish without influencing them through feed. As of last measurement, 5.54". I's say they are 6" + today.

I feed the tetra color bits 3 times a day so I'm not so sure that is the cause for the colors. I kinda wish it was cause I like the darker color. Is'nt Kennys group all darker orange? I'll have to go check and see what he's are feeding.
That is odd Steve. I observed that most took on a very strong orange color with color bits. I did have lighter ones in the group, but still orange in color. Now that they are not eating any foods that enhance color, they all look the same. I honestly didn't realize it until I ran out of the color bits and switched to an ON pellet.
Best wishes!

It's interesting that you say the colors were varied when you fed TCB and became uniform when you stopped. Maybe as an experiment I will stop using it as well and see what happens. I have to find something they like just as well though. They LOVE TCB.

I'll be honest with you Steve, mine loved them too and they certainly don't take off fter the new pellet as they did with the TCB. They eat it, just not with the gusto they did with TCB or the beefheart mix. I can't say that I ever had one quite as orange as Nacho, but then again they only got the bits once a day.
Best wishes!

Chad, Lookin' good my man. Very uniform in size and color. There was only one unfortunate thing I saw and that was THE PICTURES WERE TOO SMALL. :)

Hey Kirk!
Sorry about the picture size. My camera, at it's lowest setting, takes HUGE pictures. LOL! I edit them through microsoft picture editor to get the size small enough that it will upload to SD. It's the fastest and easiest way I have found but does result in some small shots.
Hope you are well! Have a great weekend!
Re: Week #19, Water Change #19.... All is well!
Chad,
pics are great.
Fish are beautiful in shape and color.
1 question... Have they filled in considerably since you last posted. They just seem to me to be a lot thicker..... or is it just me?
