Best of luck pat!!!! Im sure they will be gorgeous as all your inhabitants are!!
I have been considering raising another batch of altums this summer but was on the fence until I saw pictures of the small altums John (snookn21) is currently selling so now I have a group of small altums (dime sized) arriving tomorrow.
I am following the same practice I did with the group from last year. BB 40 breeder with mostly RO with a splash of tap (TDS of about 30) with IALs and rooibos tea staining the water. Daily 30% WC with tank wipedowns and one 50 during the week (as recommended by Paul (pcsb23). I am starting them out on BBS and live white worms and will introduce Al's FDBWs later in the week. Video tomorrow if they settle nicely.

You're a glutton for punishment. I won't lie -- I considered a batch this year, but I have enough to keep me busy right now. Here's hoping this batch grows out well for you.
Good luck with them Pat!

Looking forward to your video Pat.
Whats the PH you are keeping them ?
Just under 7.0 Fred. It's the best I can do with my water. My mix is mostly RO with just a little tap.
