Re: [Killietalk] Blue gularis ARRRRGH

Try feeding red wiggler earthworms (not nightcrawlers), cut in half or 
quarters, for 7-8 week old fry about 1 1/2 inches or larger.  They are 
available at bait shops or Walmart for a couple bucks per 30.  The fish look 
like they will choke on them but never do.  It also boosts their growth 
rate, and the swim around like bloated (and happy) cows.

Also having many more (3:1 to 6:1) females than the male can chase keeps the 
aggression under control.
