At that stage they were getting a fingerling food (from our project partners at <a href="http://jimsfish.webs.com/fishfood.htm">Jim's Online Fish Shop</a>) at 4% of their body weight per day. That worked out to approximately 1/4 cup food, three times / day. <a href="http://www.aprovecho.net/2010/07/440/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
