i feed em like 3 times a day,not too much since ive killed fry before by overfeeding em.i feed em mainly flake and the very small omega one pellets.sometimes i give em a little bit of shrimp or bloodworms

prolly a month or so.i know at 2 months they suppose to be sellable

So a lil different from how it is here. Most ppl won't buy anything unless it's atleast 1.5-2in.

Ok so not bad at all then. My FH's took an extra month to get that big but that was probably because I had roughly 300 of em in one batch.

exactly..i do find leaving them with the parents as long as possible helps 2 things..one slows down how fast they go to spawning again.2 they just seem to grow faster under parental care,not sure why

Well that's good. Yeah in the Midwest here it's completely different on how to sell fish. I can't hardly sell anything around here. Even more so if it's got size to it.

this my flowerhorns first batch so was kinda small and disorganized..they didnt care when i pulled the fry..yet they always hungry and they still dont try and eat the fry
