Green Terror fry

[Nixi]

Hi folks,

My green terrors bread and had around 150 Fry's. After 7 days i seperated the parents. But unfortunately the mother died. It's been 4 months now. I decided to move the father back into the fry tank. Please suggest.

Also what should be the ideal size of growth of the Fry's in this 4 months.

I regret moving the parents away, she got depressed, became weak and died.
But I am excited for them to breed again so I put the father back. Thinking this will make the fries grow faster and probably the father will again get a partner..

The best thing to do for fast growth is/are frequent water changes, even more than small multiple feedings per day.
The more you remove nitrate and growth inhibiting hormones the faster fry will grow,
If you do once a week 50% water changes they will grow slower than if you do twice per 40% water changes, etc etc.
I find 40% every other day water changes work best for me, and try to feed 5 smallish meals per day for fry .
I also allow algae to grow as extra grazing and to help use nitrate.

Welcome
Sorry about the loss of your girl.
duanes Gave good solid advice to go by. Lots of water changes and frequent feedings.
Looking back at fry I grew out they were between 1”- 2” at 4 months old.
Though I’ve had some grow much slower when I’m not feeding multiple times a day.
