Planted community grow out update

[Knutsen1122]

So here's the big boss showing off during feeding time. Almost three months old and 2 1/2 weeks In the tank. Roughly 3" 83167

I think you may be mistaken ... if the fish is roughly 3" it will not be three weeks old ... it may be three months old though ... or perhaps the tank is three weeks old?

The fish looks ok, maybe a tad behind.

[Knutsen1122]

50% wc daily which includes cleaning the substrate. They are in a 55gallon with a fluval 405 and a hydro sponge.

nice! see i was lazy with my planted tanks, and adults did great with my low tech planted tanks with clean up crew, but id do it very differently if i was growing out juvies. which is a goal of mine for one day...when im not feeling so lazy about cleaning substrate for one thing ! :evilgrin:

but yours look really great, love seeing threads like this

[Knutsen1122]

Thanks! I think next time I'm going to go the traditional rout and do a bb grow out. It is a ton of work keeping it clean!
