GROW OUT TANK?

[gavigan1]

I bought some fish that are much to small to put in with current tank mates. What does a grow out tank consist of?

 

[ceeej31]

it depends, it can just be a smaller tank with the bare necessities or it can decorated to you liking

Alright I got the fish , filter ,tank, heater even have food and am going to do regular water changes also.

Are there any special techniques to rapidly increase the size of these fish,

A grow out tank is just like your main tank, just with smaller fish...
What are you keeping?

I agree, same as your main tanks, just a little bit more overstocked in many cases.

Feed high protein food several times a day(like NLS Growth Formula), high temp(for your sp.), and lots of water changes can increase the growth rate of your fish.
