Bryan's Grow Out Challenge Thread 2018

[warblad79]

I just looked at pg 1 images of the fry when you received them and I am stunned by the current size, condition & growth rate of your group. Wow mate, great job. Clearly have done this many times b4 and have certainly "cracked the code." Nice!

Thank you, huge difference when I got them from day 1.

Nice going Bryan, I am noticing a wee bit of color in the outer fins and gill covers also. What are you feeding now?

Thanks, I'm still feeding them high protein beefheart mixed flakes and BBS.

8 weeks old and roughly about 2"...The size should be appropriate for this age.

Looking good as always. Have you increased the water level yet?

Still the same, tank still big enough for them.

Wow mate, those guys are growin like weeds! Will they eat all of that food or will you siphon off anything uneaten at a certain point?

I don't think they would eat all that food since they're not used to that yet but I'll definitely siphon any uneaten food after 2 hours or do a complete water change. One thing I learned these past few years is that providing more food and spreading them would help alleviate aggression so that the small one can eat as well. If you gave them a chunk or cube the bully one will take over and won't share it. That's why I don't feed them beefheart and freeze dried cubes. If you notice my group is growing at the same pace.

Gotcha. I accidentally deleted my post try to add another qn. Lol.
I have 2 yellow discus and am wanting to add a commercial granule to their diet. Will Tropical D-50 turn my yellow guys orange?
Thx mate!

Honestly, I'm not sure since I don't have any yellow discus. I have mostly Turquoise based but I noticed all my fish are more vibrant and lively after feeding this food.

Thanks Bryan. I'll check the ingredients list online 👍
