    Default August 17th update

    Well fist of all I would like to apologize for not doing the weekly updates. Things around here have been extremely busy. These 60 hour weeks and my boys being so active have drained me of all my energy. Anyways about the fish.

    All is going well with my fish. They are growing nicely. I have had to adjust my water changes to once a day of 75% (as I mentioned time is very limited) I have also had to rely more on my autofeeders. They feed every 3 hours 4 x's a day. They also get beefheart 2 x's a day and bloodworms in the evening.

    They are growing nicely. My biggest is about 5" and I have 4 catching up at around 4 1/2" (they have been catching up within the last week) and I have one little guy that is just under 4" (he eats well, just not growing at the same rate as the others)

    I haven't had any health issues as of yet (knock on wood) so nothing else to report. So on with the pictures.
