    Thanks Ryan...they are always hungry and about 1.5" or better now...just starting to see faint markings that will gradually develop into blue stripes...currently eating whole cubes of FDBW rather than ground up:

    Still have 80 of these red turq fry for sale...some are starting to get light blue markings around the head. Due to larger size now, price is $10 ea, I can offer shipping to some locations with minimum order of 8.

    I'm just curious but how many cubes did it take to feed all of those fry at each feeding and how many times per day?

    For the FDBW, I broke 2 or 3 cubes in half and stuck them all to the glass a couple times a day when I had >130 fry in the tank, so that all could get some. The loose FDBW fines and ground up FDBW also work well in an automatic feeder, the fry take it right from the surface.

    Also use ground beefheart flake, frozen adult brine shrimp, instant and live baby brine shrimp throughout the day.

    This was my first time raising/selling such a large batch of fry and while it was fun and I have some nice fry leftover to raise for myself, it's also quite time consuming, so I'm resting the pair (and myself) for a while before thinking about taking on the task again! :-)
