I haven't updated in awhile, I really have been too busy with family stuff but I thought I should post a few pics.. I'm going to be upfront and say these fry came at the worst possible time for me but I have tried to keep up with 100% water changes a day. I usually feed fry alot and a mix of flakes and Blackworm fines and pellets after I wean them from baby brine at quarter size and I often will do more than 1 wc a day if the tanks looking like it needs it. I was barely able to do 1 x a wc. I also skimped on my feeding. I went from BBS to crushed flakes mostly.. I mix of HBH seafood lovers and veggies. 3x a day . I premixed the bag and thats what I have been feeding these and any similar size fry. I needed something quick and easy and something I could have others feed easily for me.

For the most part They are growing well. I have a bunch that the chin is a little weak but I noticed that from the start , maybe its a developmental thing. They are growing slower than my domestics from the same time frame, maybe 30% slower? This is comparing fish that had the same care,
I'm ok with how slow they are growing, and I think even the weak chins I see on some will round out more as they grow.

Mom and Dad both had weak chins compared to Domestics but were still beautiful fish. I think Theres alot of potential in these guys..I will be patient.
