Hey everyone,
Long does it take for Peacock Cichlids on average to get to 1-2 inches after losing their egg sacks? I realize water changes, quality, and space all make a difference and because of that Ill lay out my plan. If I have a holding female, I would either strip her or relocate her into a 10G tank, once the fry are either spit out or are free swimming, they would stay in the 10G tank until I either feel it is getting too cramped, or I have a new batch of fry. Let's say the batch is 25 fry. 30% water change twice a week at 78 degrees. I would then move the fry into a 20 or 29G tank. How long would it take the fry to reach 1-2 inches? At this point, I would sell the fry. I understand many would say that 20-29G is not enough for a grow out, I still want to hear any opinions on the process or if there is anything I can do better. Hope everyone is staying inside and safe!
