After a week the fry are well away... This pair took about four mouths to spawn but boy did they repay my patience.

Stunning! I just picked up 3 Istlanums from Wetspot about 3 weeks ago (about an 1.5") what was the growth rate on yours? when they were small what where you feeding them and how often? any issue's with bloat?
Sorry for all the questions, it's a fish I've wanted for along time and want it to go a smoothly as possible.

Basically from this.... 15 months ago 3" Juvenile to.....
10" beast in 15 months.... To keep him well make sure he's the boss and he'll thrive. My Dovii is catching up fast and will be moving out soon leaving him with a large female and two Neets. Although I might move them out soon as there keep nipping the fins.Feed very little while the fry are still small and keep the temperature low and water quality up by regular water changes... Usually they have passed the bloat stage at 2"
