    Hi Hein,

    My advice is that you shoulf feed some freshly hatched brine shrimps. If you do not feed them bs, then you tend to find a greater percentage of fishes with fin and body abnormalities, and the fishes will also grow faster if you feed bs.

    Don't let anyone put you off about the GM story, this colour does not harm the fishes in the least, that I am in a better position to tell you than anyone on this forum because this falls directly in my field of expertise (biochemistry and molecular biology).

    Kind regards,

    Dirk

    Wow thanks prof. Yes I will start feeding them hatched bs just struggling to get my hands on some. I do feed them some micro worm twice a week. To be honest prof some people dont like them being GM but I love them as I love all my fish their just as normal to me as my Rams are. Thanks for the advise and the kind words.

    Hey Lizid, yip they are ready to move! They have been moving from the day they hatched! They sometimes move up, then they move to the right…..and then to the left…..and they move the most at feeding time!!!!lmao

    I must admit, that the 5 I got from hein, are to say thanks for using the Fry Food I provided him with!

    But I see the one is an Endler Zebra, is this a new breed that you are starting now as well?

    Kind regards,

    Thanks for the pic dude, I added the one remaining fast growing baby to my community tank everyone thought he was flake food but when he caught the current of the filter all the other fish saw he was actually a fish so then they all relaxed.. But the little dudes are fast so even if instinct of the other fish do kick in there's alot of hiding space in the plants and driftwood.
