Re: [Killietalk] Slow growing fry
As a friend once told me "You have to do the work" ! What does that actually mean, well "feeling" your "doing the work" isn't the same as "doing it".
I'll translate that further. Taking in consideration all the below is fine, BUT, you HAVE to do it. "Thinking" the water looked fine, and I'm feeding the fry "good" (by the way which was once or twice in the evening on bbs), and scaping up some frozen. By the way I usually "do" Fp., which were STILL taking forever to sex out it seem, maybe 5 mths (yeah really).
Anyhoo, not really changing much else, and getting tired of hearing "You have to feed them", I started getting up before work and "shooting" in a bit more BBS than usual, and then when I got home. I find a MUST, is plants, usually Java Moss and snail, I prefer the Red Rams. Anyway, in about 2 weeks or less I started adding Grindals (the food of the Gods), once I added these, which I still fight with, they shot off the blocks. In less than two weeks later I added white worms, fighting with those too.
Anyway, when all was said and done, my 6 mth unsexed fry went to sexing out in 2 - 3 months. I even had some celiae, definitely slow, and then, I was surprised to see a difference in just 2 weeks.
All I or anyone else can tell you is, "You have to do the work". Problem is this too, if they don't get a good start, you'll never see the potential. Those little suckers eat like eating Chinese food, 15 minutes later (probably 5 in their case), their eating again. Thats the reason for the other "stuff", it helps create the banquet they can feast on during the day, UNLESS "ur" a fortunate AARP member.
So in a nutshell, the most dramatic change for me came with just the diet! So figure in "more work", and you'll get even probably added results.
"And that's the rest of the story ..."
