Bump.....

How are everyones baby IT's? How many did you start with? How many left? How big? What food is their fave?

Me....Mine are gettn thick, started w/ 20....still have 20:) They range from 1.5''-3"+. They love market shrimp.
 
Mine are growing rapidly 2" - 2.5, started with 17 and still have 17 healthy Indos. Feeding all kinds of pellets from sinking carnivore to massivore to hikari sticks, leftover bloodworm cubes.. Amazingly stable too!
 
I cutted out a section of my 135G tank, and placed in my baby Indo to interact with my "Bigger" Orino Peacock Bass

;)

Teaching my bass that baby fish are not food!!!

i finally got mine a few weeks ago..i only had 2 deaths..i kept the temp at 82 exactly i ran a sump and a xp3 on it 20-30% water changes about every 8 days. i fed them frozen brine and live black worms...i added salt every now and them and plenty of drift wood to hide in. they have tripled their size since and this is out of 23 baby indos, well i accsidently killed 1 it was stuck on my net and i didnt see it till it was too late
 
Reading this thread made me set up my 10g again :D going to give it another try. I had 2 NTT at 1.5" about 6 months ago but died within a couple of days. I'm going to cycle my tank for atleast a month, about the same time I get back from Laos, then start looking for maybe some IT's.
