Heck yeah mate, I sure am. The whole sum of everyone's methods & experiences, good & bad, is a great learning environment for me.
For that I thank you, and others, who have been faithful & open in documenting & sharing progress!!

Hi Bryan,

Congratulations on the fantastic job growing out your fry and thanks for the education. Just double checking, but are you still growing the fry out in just 10 gallons of water in a 20 gallon tank?

Thank you, yes it's easy to manage and I don't see any agression between them.

Thank you for your tips Bryan.
This thread is one of the most, if not the most inspirational and educational yet!


Also, may I ask, normally you'd WC twice a day, until what size?

thank you for checking my thread

When they reach about 3 months old but will change if bioload and feeding increases as well as water change. I try not limit my water change and also good filtration would be ideal for overcrowding tank especially when you have huge batch.

Thanks for your reply.

I have one 8 months old batch, a couple of them are still <4".

Wonder if I shall still give them the last boost with over-power-water-change lol.

Speaking of Piwowarski - I thought I remembered reading once that he injects O2 into his growout tanks. I wonder if anyone else does that - Could certainly be an interesting experiment.

Looking fantastic as always Bryan.
