Wild growouts...

[Darrell Ward]

Put a bunch of young wilds in my old 240gal. a couple a weeks ago for grow out. They are nothing fancy at all, on a tight budget now, just young greens and some heckels from another tank. Some of you guys have one fish that cost more than my whole group, but I think they have some potential. Probably should have wiped off the glass first, but they were having such a good time swimming around in that 30" deep tank, I didn't want to disturb their activity. ....

They look nice. hard to tell from pics but how big..small are they? what are the water parameters you keep yours in?

[Darrell Ward]

Thanks guys! All fish came from John Kreatsoulas down in Florida (snookn21) but different orders. They are different ages, and range from about 3 1/2" to 5". Well water has practically no hardness (very soft) Temp. 82F, PH 6.

Thanks. I'm now using a homemade fluidized bed bio reactor with the kaldness bio media in the sump for filtration. So far, I'm loving it! The kaldness media is great! I originally got the idea from pictures posted by Dale Jordan, and Ryan helped me with air stone placements.

How did you handle the problem with the media moving to one side of the sump?
