fecat Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 My fry grow out tank is overstocked atm. the water will go blownish within 3 days. Current filtration is one 600 lph hand on back filter and one internal filter. I change 50% of water every 3 days. I want to know will it stun their grow rate of the fry and juvie? I am now looking for a bigger grow out tank to accomodate them plus my other 150 small fry who is now still in the fry saver and about 70 GT juvies in a bigger fry saver... how many grow out tank do i need and in what size? I think I am constantly getting over 150 fry every month or so. Now cutting down some breeding colonies and selling them... should I put my american fry with my african fry? should I better of separte them? any input is appreciated.

Ash Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 depends on what your american fry are I suppose - anything amazonian don't do it, anything central crater lake is safer, at least hardness/pH wise. How big is the tank? Bad water quality will stunt them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love and hate it at the same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Get some more grow out tanks, you wont regret it! I have 8 breeding tanks and 12 growout tanks here, and I am still always looking for more. I dont know how I used to manage with just a couple of growout tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With american, they produce 500+ at one time... you just need more tank space! the GT i got is just some left over inside the tank which I didn't bother at the beginning to siphon them out.
