Microworm?

[MrVampire181]

Not even over feeding. Microworms sink. Fry will eat them off the bottom and will search for food there. Some will end up with missing ventrals.

Will let end this.
U have your ways n I have my.
What work for u might not work for me.
So we just stick to what we do best

[MrVampire181]

Sounds fair. For the record they are good if you watch what you do. BBS is the same, be careful and don't overfeed and you should have no issues.

[Curlyfatbottom]

I agree.
Plus how you feed them.
Bbs make sure no egg shield n rainse will
Micro clean b4 putting in the tank.
Scrape the edge n dump them in water
Use a eye drop to get the worm
Usually filter the water a few time b4 I use the eye drop
What temp u set your tank at since u say u have it higher then other.

I get them grown in 3 to 3 1/2 months. Good food, clean warm water, and lots of space is all there is to it.

[Curlyfatbottom]

Not much different then.
3-4 month to adult size
Good food with clean warm water will make the fry grow
Try giving your fish longer light hour.
U might be sprise at the different
10-14 hours

U just read this whole thread and I'm glad you guys can agree to disagree. :) I have a question, though. Can you feed fry a mixture of foods instead of strictly micro worms, bbs or whatever or can you give them a variety?

[Curlyfatbottom]

I dont mix the food.
So can't give u any feed back on it.
I've just switch the diet to size.
If the fry out grow one type of food I just switch to another.
With good clean warm water n bit size food
The fry usually take a week or two to switch to a new diet.
In about 6-8 week my fry can eat whole black worm already
