just Got 6 UMBEE fry

[fwlion]

and NOW I NEED HELP ok I kept and raised COUNTLESS cichlids including dovii, odo's, festae's, etc....... all from egg up or at least .75in. fry on up

I just got my 1ST ever umbee's I have 6 of them they are about .5-1in. long and I just got thru reading a few horror stories about raising umbee's up beyond this size

they are in a 10g. TEMPORARILY for at least a couple days just until I can get my 30 long freed up

can you guys give me some 1st HAND EXPERIENCE RAISING THESE GUYS FROM FRY UP TO A STABLE EASY TO HANDLE SIZE

by that I mean from like now (eyes and a tail) to at least 5-6in. safely

Better yet make sure they don't kill each other.. they're not fans of their own kind and when bigger not fans of anything at all..

Just like any other guapote, good food and filtration. No bloating like odo's or anything.

NO BLOAT?? thats what I was worried about I had read a few stories where people were losing them to bloat

I did fine with my odo's on str8 spirualina these don't need spirualina do they?

If they had bloat they're doing something waaaaay wrong or had the wrong fish.
