    Thanks Mishka and Pat, they do seem to be doing extremely well. It may be moving day for the parents tomorrow Pat. I think I've decided I'm going to move them to a 29 and leave the fry in the 46.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! One month old today.



    One half way decent still.



    There are/were one or two with bad dorsals, so one of them got culled for the 1 month measurement. Looks like a solid 1 3/8"s.

    They look great Keith!

    I love them when they're tiny and have those bristly "buzz cuts" on their fins....so darned cute. Yours look amazingly round for only 1 month old, how do you do it?

    Thanks Pat, Toni, Marinum, Jorge.

    Toni, I don't think I do anything particularly special feeding wise. I am a firm believer in leaving the fry with the parents for 3 to 4 weeks if at all possible, that's number one on my list. I usually start feeding bbs around day 4 or 5, I was actually lazy with this batch and didn't start until a few days beyond that. I flood the tank with bbs in the morning before I go to work and again when I get home. After they're eating the bbs really well and start getting a little more adventurous I start adding other foods. A pinch of golden pearls is usually the first addition, then I start adding some crushed flake, and lately I've been offering a little shredded fdbw's as well.

    I guess the only thing I left out in my feeding routine is that while all that is going on I'm also feeding the parents my homemade beefheart mix. The fry naturally start picking at that at some point as well.
