Pat's Challenger Growout Thread

Wow Pat they’re looking good. Is Boss one of the aggressors? Feisty is great -means they are feeling good enough to conquer their world. Way to go Pat. I’m betting it’ll be smooth sailing from here. Thanks for showing us how it’s done. Can’t wait to see these guys in the weeks to come.

Thanks Patty, Boss seems low key at this point but all the fish are active and eating well. Feisty is spot on and yes, I have my routine and feeding amounts down and I am feeling good about the future with this group.

I heard from somewhere (def not in Al's how to raise discus video tho) that 2 PPM of Prozac does the trick

So did you notice any improvement with their appetite and growth once you've introduced the BBS in their diet Pat ?

Hope I am not jinx-ing myself by saying this....but hold onto your socks

More so in their growth Filip. Appetite has always been good. I was also not making the FDBW's fine enough. It needs to look like dust after grinding.

So think these guys are about seven weeks old or so. Used a camcorder vs the phone. Detail is a lot better.

Pat, I think Al implanted brain chips or something in the contest fish. The night after you uploaded the video with the two duking it out, a couple of mine started doing the same West Side Story/sideways wiggle fighting. Let me know if you find a good shrink for them, as mine might need one too.

[Second Hand Pat]

Hi Adam, still looking for a fish shrink but no luck. Al did admit to a bit of tampering with these fry but would not reveal any details. So I guess we have to await to see what other surprises are in store for us!

Just to show how fast these guys grow. Note the fish in the center of the first pic. It was taken Sept 30.

This pic was taken yesterday. Fish near the bottom is the same fish as the one noted in the first pic.
