Have you been working on your picture taking? This ones pretty clear and the right direction too...I think.

Sometimes I just get lucky. The sad thing is I take about a dozen pics to have one be passable. Thank goodness I no longer use a camera with film or poloroid - that would be costing me a lot of $$$

So your name is Holly, congrats on the successful fry first time around!

It's great, isn't it?

My husband is shocked at how big they have become in just the 2 weeks since they became free swimmers. I kinda am too.

They are doing very well, good job OC.

Pictures I took this afternoon. It is getting more difficult to get all of them in the same photo since they are doing their own thing so often instead of just staying close to the parents.
Still doing at least one 90% wc daily and feeding bbs 2-3 times a day.

So, I took dad out a couple of days ago. His skin was getting very dry/rough looking (see pics in post #118 - the blue ss/scorpion).
The fry are now 23 days old and when I feed mom FDBW they are eating it too. Should I stop with the BBS and just feed them what the mom eats now or keep feeding the BBS?

[Keith Perkins]

Personally I let the fry tell me when to quit feeding bbs. When they show more interest in FDBW, flake, and heart than they do bbs I start cutting back on how much I'm making and wean them off of it. Just what I do.
