    Pics from today....the fry are all over the tank. Don't they know I am trying to take their picture? Lol
    Did I mention that they are only 23 days old? They are getting big. And no, I do not give them any steroids.

    So my husband and I are going away for the weekend (wedding anniversary) and I wanted to know if I should feed the fry while we are away even though they will not get any water changes or if they will be better off with no food. They are about 6 weeks old now and close to 1.5" TL each.
    Thanks!

    I agree with Bill, you're better off with hungry fish than with fish in dirty water.

    Very nice shape on them. Glad you're still among the living, it's been a while.

    Thanks Keith. I was worried that I would lose some during the moving process but they did great. Unfortunatly, one of my pairs had fry that went free swimming the day we had to move the discus, those did not make it.

    Yes, I am among the living but life has been super busy.

    Oh really, it must be because you have a totally different water source from everyone else in the world. LOL

    Most important question have all the fish settled in? And how about you?
