Growth rate for fry?

[mcloughlin2]

Hi,

Im rearanging all my tanks ATM and was wondering wat size tank i would need to have to grow any baby discus that i manage to breed ? :)

If i had a 2foot and i only had say 10-20 babies in it and did daily water changes of %20 how long would it take to get them to say 5-6cm? would i be looking at about 6 months or could i get them to that size in say 3-4 months? :?

Or would i need a bigger tank ?

Any help would be great and if u could let me Know wat sort of growth rate u guys get (and let me know how many water changes etc )that would be even better ..

Cheers,

Sam ...

The picture below is a baby 37 days old from free swimming.

I would go a larger tank to grow them, like a standard 4 foot tank.
And the secret to growing babies is LOTS of water changes and lots of feeding!

I water change, %80 3 times per day, 2 if i am lazy! but never only once!
as far as feeding i try and get more than 6 feeds per day!
