Good to hear that you successfully raised them to this age! I know how frustrating to loose 200+fry! Sometimes you just want to give up trying all together! Great job Jason!

So it's been about 2 months since the parents spawned and I was inundated with fry about 300+ hatched out. Out of the the 300 about 60-70 have made it to 2 months. I was expecting this as I read the fry were hard to raise, I really think the trick is to know when to stop feeding the fry high protein foods and switch to a more vegetable/fiber rich diet. The fry have grown to the point they are now able to eat only veggie rounds and hopefully will grow quickly. Great job raising as many as you did . Really looking forward to seeing these .

I just bought a "twig catfish" from PetSmart. All it ever seems to eat is algae off the glass, cool little addition to my algae filled tank! How are the offspring doing now? I've read they are difficult to raise as well!

I've read they are difficult to raise as well! They are difficult, but when you find a system that works....it's very rewarding. Working on a new batch right now.
