Guessing three inches or so Phil. I have raised my own fry but have not had wilds this small. They eat like little machines. Between the eight on them, they ate 5 cubes of FDBWs between mid-afternoon and bedtime. :D

I will create a grow out thread Phil for these little guys. Heckels are said to be slow growers. Lets hope not too slow.

Hi - I saw this and was just wondering how this heckel project is going or went. It was four months ago when this was posted last.

I culled the lot William as I could not cure the whirling which was taking them one by one. :(

It seems odd that there would be whirling problems with the heckels but not with the others. Are you using the same water, or was that tank isolated?

What a shame. They showed so much potential. I'm so sorry...

Oh well - now you've got four nice brilliant blues to light up your day! I want to get some so bad, but I am going to restrain myself and just hang with my Uatuma blues for now. It looks like i may stuck be buying my son a car. There is a reason why lions eat their young. I'm ready to feed this one to the lambs. Some discus eat their young too. I wish I'd have thought of that. Just kidding. I like your new guys! Need a new heckel rugby video.

I'd be a heap more happy if you did a football fantasy rugby food fight fest video with your brilliant blues one more time with those rockin tunes attached. I'm sure you have a lot of fans. Me too!

This is way we have a NADA show. It's as much about meeting up with friends you have never met as is is about the fish.
