Re: 10 Nickel-sized babies
I missed a couple water changes here and there over the past 10 days or so due to being sick, maybe 3 total, but I did siphon out the waste most of the times that I skipped the water change. I also had a heating issue about 2 weeks ago, and I think all of these things really kicked the less healthy babies in the butt, while the healthier ones did not seem very phased. Some bullying also started around the same time as the rest of the changes.
The smallest one, which hardly grew at all since day 1, was looking horrible this morning so I took it out to end its suffering. It's been about 3 months since I acquired them already stunted, and even with beefheart and water changes, the biggest one has only grown about 1.5," which either means I need to change more than 50% daily next time, and/or goes to show how important the first couple of months are to growth even if you try to catch up later.
The largest

The worst shaped, has a short gill plate on the other side. I don't expect it to live much longer.
