Just a question ive been thinking about, i have 11 convit fry right now an there not exactly growning that fast,

there in there own mini mini breeding tank inside my main tank and 2 x a day i feed them about 5 floating pellets (hikari pelets) and a good pinch of flake

so what do you feed yours and do they grow fast?

thanks :)
 
Water quality more than diet will dictate quick growth in most cases. Of course live foods are best, but not necessary for many species, epsecially cichlids. I usually feed crushed flake 3-4 times a day and change 50% water every day. This is done in a 10 gallon and as they get bigger then a 20 gallon tank.
 
the food is fine ,but please but them in a 10 gallon for best growth
 
the bigger the tank the better growth..your diet is good enough..siphon pops daily and of course clean h2o is advisable for fries...:D
 
surplus swimming space & clean water. i feed mine the same thing in addition to some brine shrimp & krill. i have abouy 40 f.h./p.r.q. fry in a 55 with the mother since 4/27/ 08 & the seem to be growing rather rapid. how old are your fry?
