There isn't much of an update. The fish always look the same size to me. Actually, that's a lie -- they look like they're a good size in person but when I take pictures and video they seem small.
The fish are still getting 4 - 6 feedings a day, mostly with beefheart, bloodworms, and pellets/flakes. I've cut my water changes back to about 50% daily instead of 90%+ daily because my water bill was getting a little out of hand.
Here are a couple pictures and video. It's interesting to note that only one of my fish shows striation -- all the rest are mostly solid yellow with a red ring around their dorsal and anal fins, sort of like Rose Reds/San Merah. They do have red and white markings in their fins. Out of six fish I have one very obvious runt.
