    6-30-2009: I can't believe it's been six weeks!

    I'm noticing a lot of growth in a couple of the fish and still not much more in the rest. The colors have gotten noticeably more yellow as they've grown.

    The fish are still getting a 90% water change every day and four to five feedings. They're enjoying beefheart, bloodworms, ONF1 flakes, ONF1 pellets, and occasionally some ONF2 for a snack. It can't hurt to have some veggies, right?

        Hey Ryan, they look great. Looks like they are healthy and with attitudes the way they are holding those fins.
        Good to see your update.
        Take care,

        Bill

          Hey Ryan,

          Nice pics of some beautiful fish. Looks like you're doing a great job as it seems most of the people in the challenge are.

          Keep up the good work.

                    Looking good Ryan. A couple of mine are a little smaller than the rest also, but not much smaller.

                          Thanks for the comments everyone.

                          The fish were about 2.5 - 3" when I first got them. I think I posted pictures of one next to a measuring tape in the first thread.

                            Hi Ryan,

                            Great looking group shots they definitely have grown. They looked beautiful and are in such great health. Excellent work my friend and I'm all for including some veggies in their diet! I can't wait to see them next month all the best to them!
