    Default 11th Of January Update

    11th of January.
    Three weak since recieving the fish today, and all is well. Except for the smallest fish which is really dark some of the time, but is feeding, and swimming around with the others O.K. I hope she is allright
    Every morning they are eating a cube of FBH now, which lasts only a couple of minutes. They also get served two cubes of FBW, and same with FBS. Some where in between SpectrumDiscus Pellets, and Sera San or Nutrafin Max Flakes.During their daily 30%-50% water changes, which is around the time we sit to have dinner, they are given another cube of FBW. I can't help giving them a couple more treats before l hit the sack,one of which is a serve of 'live brine shrimp' as the bottom of the tank is cleared of all servings.
    Man these things are eating better than l do.
    I'm hoping to measure a couple of fish next week. The biggest is close to 3 inches. But l really need to get the Tape Measure (Lie Detector) on it. It could look magnified through the glass.

    They are looking good and I like the color that is starting to show. If you are doing a the big wc in the morning you could always try feeding them more BH (just a little bit) in the evening then do your nightly cleanup.
