Re: Not fed fry

[anggrek@juno.com (Tsuh Yang Chen)]

i have never not fed my fry but i did notice that my nannacara anomala
fry in my 55-gallon tank grew to a larger size and better color than my
apisto 'rotopunkt' bred and raised in 10-gallon tanks.  i always
attributed it to the existence of infusoria in the larger and more
established tank.
