Awesome pieces of holey rock! That sounds like a lot of feedings. Why do you feed them that many times?

Very Nice!.. Bip I am guessing to keep the aggression down?

no, its called powerfeeding, the golden kazumba fry just 1.5 months ago were .5", they are now almost all 1.5tl.
i feed 8 times a day small amounts, and i do 80+% water changes twice weekly.

i use a carbon snake with seachem prime to refill the water.
it has nothing to do with aggression.
the aggression is minimilized with the modded k4 thats pushing 3000+ gph through the tank!
i modded the k4 using a maxi jet 1200's aluminum shaft, and placing a gs2 propeller from a maxi jet algae free 1600 mod kit and replacing the old propeller assembly withthis prop assembly.
gives anywhere from 3000-3600gph of super wide flow throguh the tank.

Sweet one.

The one on the bottom has a ton of egg spots. Both are pretty.

Curtis, I wouldn't feed her while she is holding. If she is inexperienced,
