    From dime to quater size...fat and thick, their belly are always full...No more camera shy...started giving them crush high protein beefheart flakes last night and devouring it in minutes.

    Hey Bryan, they do look great. Was all this based on water changes and feeding them BBS?

    Thanks Bryan, your pictures of your fry confirmed the need for BBS at this age.

    I knew right away after observing them that I had to start from scratch and it just happened I had left over BBS eggs, in my experienced I would slowly start giving them solid food once they reached about quarter size.

    Wow , they already look rounded .
    Did you fed BBS exclusively to this point Brian ?
    I don't want to play a judge here or discourage other contestants , but so far those are the biggest grow outs from the current pictures of the contest , at least to my eyes .

    BBS exclusively until to this day and started giving them beefheart flakes 2 days ago. Then next month I'll start introducing them with my secret homemade beefheart mixed with growth booster.

    From your documented experience so far , it seems to me that for some reason BBS outperform other foods for growouts at this young age .

    About introducing your BH mix . Why next month , why not tommorow ?
