Frank's F1 Growouts from Wild Parents - A Pleasant Surprise!

[fljones3]

Daniel, basically the same as post #381. Of course, I am having to adjust the amount of the portions due to 12 less babies.

Nice one Frank! Looking forward to continuing to track the progress of the ones you kept. What are you feeding these days?

No worries! Keep on the trail Daniel!

Now, since they "celebrated" their 12 week birthday (no cake or candles), I have reduced the number of feedings from 6 to 4x a day.

So Frank has mentioned that 12 of his fry went to new homes of SD members. A friend of mine was interested in some F1s and she drove 10 hours to pick them up and drove home in a 24 period. The fry are still settling in and all are eating. One is dark but eating and she is concerned about it. At some point in the near future she will drive to my house and bring six of Frank's fry to live with me.

No way! How did you work that out? I would have met here half way at least.

I am thrilled that the fry are going in good homes. They will get even better care going forward.
Thanks Pat! Good to meet Pat’s friends also. It is my desire that all 12 F1’s will prosper.

That's bloody marvelous that is!!

Thanks Frank for entrusting us with your precious fry and BTW, you gave them excellent care. Also looking forward to watch yours grow up.

Pat's friend had a necessary stop in my State on their way here.

After having a water issues earlier last week, things are back to normal. I might even say better than normal. They are doing more roaming around the tank since there are fewer in the tank. Sizes (13 weeks tomorrow) range from 54-66 mm (2.1-2.6 inches). I will be lengthening intervals between posts since their growth will be slowing.
