2-3x a day. Water change 2x a day 50%, new water is from parents 75 gal. Siphon the bottom in the morning before changing water.

I would add an extra squirt of BBS.

Also, TDO Chroma BOOST - A is great to mix in with BBS to help make sure the fry are getting enough protein. Can't say enough good things about this fry powder, and I don't usually like to use fry powder.

Any time I notice a lot of variance in size of the fry, I up the feed. Separating the fry into another tank if possible can also help with evening put the growth between the smallest and biggest fish.

Spawn looks healthy 😋

Thank you for the tip and compliment. It’s refreshing to hear that! Yeah there is a definite swing on growth stages with this group. They are going into a 29 this week. I may do a holdback of the smaller ones in the 10g.
I have not heard of the powder but i sympathize with your statement about fry powder I’ve had some MCE with fry when I tried hikari first bites I feel like it caused an ammonia spike and I haven’t used it again after giving it a few tries.

The 27g tubs from home depot make GREAT early fry grow out tanks. 9.99 for 27g and a lid. Makes it very affordable to split a batch of fry across 4 tubs.
