Re: speed fry growth
Live foods and protein enriched, high in fat foods. They will only grow so fast though.

Re: speed fry growth
All of the above. Frequent small feedings, frequent water changes, and 76 to 80 degree temperature. I feed my Guppy fry 4 times a day and can get them to 5/8" in about 4 weeks. I can usually start selling to petshops between 12 and 16 weeks.

Re: speed fry growth
Believe it or not, sunlight also plays an important part in a livebearers development.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers. |
