how fast do silvers grow i have had 1 for about 2 weeks now and he eats and eats can i feed them to much? lol

yes you can feed them too much.. what are you feeding him.. small little meals a couple of times a day is much better..they do not have a great digestive system so you never want to stuff them..and don't power feed ..that is just no good.. he is better off a little hungary then too full. Congradulations on the new baby!!!!

i feed him what i feed all of my fish he eats flake loves flakes he is also eating hikari pellets o yea and blood worms he is crazy for them 2 i let him eat the worms right out of my hand and i feed him worms in the morn and flakes with all of the other fish and 4-5 pellets and at night i may give him 3 to 4 pellets is this a bad diet? some1 told me to feed him pinkies and he will grow fast but that just seems cazy to me feeding him a mouse

That sounds like a great diet.. i know he may like to attack the flakes but he really needs things to chew.. but you sound like you are doing GREAT!!! And i would not pay much attention about giving pinkies etc.. he has a balanced diet with the hikari pellets and then a real treat with blood worms and maybe later on you can also give him some frozen silversides and frozen krill.. i think that is an excellent diet and i would continue that for the rest of his life except as he grows go to bigger pellets etc.. they grow quite fast.. in one years time he should be between 15-18 inches if i can remenber correctly.. then they put on girth for awhile and then sprout again.. Believe me they grow fast on pellets and clean pristene water ....... you will not believe how big your baby is in 6 months..
