	Jewel Fry
larry c Hobbyist Posts: 95 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Mar-2004	I've got 20 jewel fry in a 30G. I know it's over stocked but I haven't gotten around to taking them to the LFS. Some are inch and a half, others still only 3/4 inch long or even less. Funny how some grow much faster than others. Been 7 months now. Question: Anyone have experience with them breeding in such a crowded tank?

I kept four for my tank At my LFS they would not take them until the were 1.5" - 2" so I was crowded for a little while. These guys loved to eat though...really liked the frozen shrimp. All I did was feed them once a day and did my water changes Natedog
