Nice but if you want them to really grow do a 10% water change every day. It is more critical that trying to power feed.

YES!!
this is imprinted into their little beings...
They have been doing that since they could swim against the slight current in their old 225g grow-out tank...:headbang2

Yah mine grew like a weed, two 50% changes a week and he eats and eats and eats and then eats more. I got him about 4 months ago around 2", he is now easy 8" and growing ever so fast still!

great new pick ups

just see that the cons behave along with the little jags, cons at that size are more than what the jags can handle

Well, thought I'd give an update, and it isn't good.
They have been making me nervous since the first day they arrived. Mainly it the their eating. Not all of them would eat right away. Few days have past and I've been losing them one by one. I'm down to three, with one hiding under a rock all day, and the other two out an swimming perfectly. I believe that they will be the only two that will make it in the long run. The two largest, go figure.
 
sometimes the first breeding just does not produce strong fry.... maybe next time will be better.. but three growing up is okay too
 
ive always wanted jaguars lucky congrats haha

I just hope they last, lol.

Looked in the tank today with no sign of the one that was hidden under a rock. Just found him now on the bottom of the tank, motionless. Not a mark on him. On the plus side, the last two are swimming and eating fine. Just hope they're a pair, lol.
Better luck next time. :nilly:
