Of course they'll amount something, your hard work and dedication. I'd grow them out any day!

Re: Pat's Contest Fish Wild Tefe F1 "Batch B"

Well guys, I thought I was on the road to success with these guys but alas it was not meant to be. This past weekend I noticed red worms hanging out of the bottoms of the batch A F1 Tefes and after talking to Al it is Camallanus I decided I needed to treat all the F1s including the contest fish after seeing one of the red worms on the tank bottom. I treated with flubendazole (UK wormer) and I lost one of the contest fish and another looks iffy to me leaving me with three fish. I will need to retreat in three weeks.

So instead of dragging this out with now substandard fish it is time to cull what is left and call it a day. I tried really hard to make this work but seems it was not meant to be. I keep reminding myself that I am very new with this fry rearing especially with F1 wilds.

I will say I learned alot being a contestant and I hope to be part of future contests. I also wish the best for the remaining contestants. There are many nice contest fish and I look forward to watching them grow into amazing adults.
