    Default Week 12

    Hi all, Its been a few weeks since I last posted due to working late. I guess I can't complain about that though. The fish have all been doing very well. Still feeding them my beef heart /sea food mix and they just go nuts over it. Their feeding schedule has been 4 times a day on that and bs and bw as snacks in between. Their is still some noticeable difference in size. It seems that they are growing in 3 different sizes. Since giving them the mix their color has started to show more. They still get their nightly clean up and 20 gallon water change and their weekend 90% water change. The sponge filters are rinsed every 2 days and filters cleaned weekly. The water parms have still been the same since day one. It has been a pleasure taking care of these fish and friends that seen them during week 1, can't believe how much they have grown. I am hoping that giving each of these fish 20 gallons to live in will pay off with some very large fish in the end.

    Hey Jim,

    I hear what you're saying about the differences in growth. Either way, yours are looking very nice.

    Keep up the good work.
