Hey

I picked up a Green Terror yesterday. Only problem was that they only had babies, no juvies. He's only around an inch long so if I put him in my main tank straight away, he'd probably get eaten by my 8" Oscar. So for now, he's in a 130L tank until he's got enough muscle on him to go into the big tank. I'd like this to happen ASAP so I'm just wondering whats's the best way to get him beefed up fairly quickly. I dropped in a couple of tiny peices of Hikari Massivore this morning and he snapped those straight up, so no problems getting him feeding. A few questions...

What water change routine would work best? Weekly big change? Several small changes a week?
Was planning on giving him Massivore as a staple. Would this be ok?
How fast can I expect him to reach say 3 or 4 inches?
Any other suggestions for fast tracking him to monster status?

Cheers

Steve
 
Ye lots of water changes I think 2-3 times a week of 20-30 percent water Changes work best. And a varied diet of high quality food like massivore will be good.

I would keep them small if you do 3. I did two feedings daily and 2-3 25% wc a week and he sprouted like a weed.
