Alright, so when are we starting the fundraiser to help us all feed these guys? Mine can now polish off two cubes of FBW in one feeding in...probably less than 10 minutes. I cringe to think of the future!
Ok, good to know! And thanks for the compliment.

Thats good Karen, it gives you a very good sense of what to expect when you try your hand at breeding..... I feed an average 1 lb of Blood worms a day here+5 lbs beef heart and thats just 2 feedings!Alright, so when are we starting the fundraiser to help us all feed these guys?

Karen,
They are looking great...Keep up with the water change and feeding schedule you are doing and you will see them grow into monsters.
Am I counting funny??? In some of the first pics I would swear I counted 8 fish in there...
They all are looking sweet...

Karens first shipment of 6 alenquers came in in bad shape...3 were DOA..the remaining 3 were very chilled....I sent her a second batch of fry.....
I ended up sending a second group out to Scott who lost the whole first group due to shipping delays.
I also sent a group out a second time to Jose.....
All said and done we wound up with everyone having between 5 and 10 fry to work with... not ideal ., but keep in mind... the second shipments were also the second time thru the pool of availible stock.
I sent out a total of 64 juvies for this contest... we lost
6-scott
3-karen
2-jose
1-jason
total of 13....not great but for christmas time I guess we are lucky

Eileen,
If I picked the top 50% of the 100 fry I had and sent them out to everyone...anyone of those original 50 fry had the exact same chance of being the best....given the proper care.
If someone has a few more from the second groupings set out its not going matter a whole heck of a lot...I've raised many many fry and its really not a big deal in terms of how it affects chances..all things considered...The winner of this contest is going to be judged based on the best fish they raise....not the numbers...
It would not have been fair for those entering this with a smaller group, would it?... shipping fish is expensive if I sent exactly what they lost.. and some die in transit, as it apt this time of year.... we are where we were before, but its cost us more money....so I sent out a few more.
The idea is for everyone to have a good group to work from.
I hope this isn't going to be a problem for anyone...if it is please let me know now... I'll give everyone involved the opportunity to drop out and keep the fish they have...no questions asked. Who ever is good with it we go on...
hth,
al
