This year I'm so "lucky", I have 6 spawns on hand and I have run out bbs, so I have to use boon as a replacement. I notice that those which tat eat the boon are growing faster. :p

Bro Westiee....we been to his house and have seen how he groom his aros. Also seen the many varities of ornamental fishes he keep, groom and breed...from altum angels, guppies, discus, nplecos, bettas, mollies, red sword tails etc etc and the many types of goldfishes. This guy is a complete fishkeeper who enjoy tinkering with his fishes. His direction is to enjoy and have fun and nothing else.

Thanks jest, will keep on the hard work. From my years of experiment, not all theories work on the tvr I keep, it is thru trial and error, sharing and exchanging pointers. :o

For examples:
1)Read in some website, high oxygen will boost the funtan grow. I keep the fish in a tub full of oxygen bubbling...no funtan. :(
2)FBW promotes funtan, I feed 6 times a day, no funtan.:(

Again, the above 2 points might work for some, so don't misunderstand me.

What works for me:
1)I don't change water so frequently abt 4 to 5 days 1 change.
2)I feed tubi worms only once a day.
3)My tub got no oxygen bubbling. Fish almost stay motionless most of the time.
4)I keep in clear water.

Warning, this may not work for u. There are more then just this points.
:o

So TVR don't swim around is ok as mine also don't swim much. :)

Hmm....I wonder feeding canned FBW will have the same effect as I don't have a fridge to store those frozen type.

I use constant drip water so at time I can change water in 7 days but not any longer than that.

Errrr. I cannot quantify that your fish don't swim is ok. But from my observation on my fish, they don't swim as much. I can only say that they are not stress (from sickness, water, disturbance etc). They look comfortable and swim rather elegantly ard the tub when I'm near. But when I watched them from a distance for 10 mins, they almost stay motionless. There no signs of red patches, streaks etc.

Not sure abt dried fbw, you can try and let us know.

Btw, for fries, I had to put in a air stone as there are abt 500 fries in each 10ft tub. And they whack abt 1 can of tubi which need me to change water almost everyday. :( So again, method differ from my adult fish, which again will differ from spawning/seed fish and grooming fish.:o

Lower your water level just enough to cover your fish. Slowly increase the water level over the weeks. This may helps.
