growing out young fesae

[chrismaher1505]

hey guys looking for a bit of advice in regards to growing out baby festae,
they are all still very small biggest being about 3/4 inch dow to about half inch, i have 13 in total and they seem to be doing fine, already taking hikari gold and staple baby pellet and live bloodworm, anything else i can add to their diet?
what would you suggest as to the best consistent temperature to keep in the tank at the moment it is sitting at about 85, is this to high? low? i guess warmer the better right.
apart from regular feeds and mixed variety and regular water changes does anyone else have any useful tips i could try, to get the best growth rate possible from these little beauties

Frequent water changes, every third day. The food is good! Maybe some spiralina. Temp wise, 82ish. 85 is prob okay too. That'll help them digest the food. You're on track!!

It sounds like your on the right track. The other key in raising festae is patience, as they grow rather slow

out of curiosity, where did you find them?

festae are a beast to get hold of
