Default Water change experiment

I have many different setup.

With air pump and sponge:
- Daily 100% water change. No finage issue at all. Fishes very active.
- Daily ~20 to 50% water change. Occasionally finage issue.

Without air pump with sponge.
- Daily 100% water change. No finage issue at all. Fishes not as active.
- Daily ~20 to 50% water change. Encounter finage issue almost everyday.

Default Quantity of fry

The duration of female keep together with male is one of the factor that determine the quantity of fry per drop. Shorter duration will have lesser fry comparing to longer duration.

Default Fry feeding

Based on the fry tiny and fast digestive system. To pump up the fry, increase the frequency of feeding not quantity per feed.

Two weeks onward, start to separate the smaller size from the rest. This way, you will be able to bring up all the fry to adult with all at almost the same size.

My outdoor = my corridor
2 x 2ft tanks
1 = albino red
1 = tiger endlers

no WC, feeding once everyday with tetra bits. I can see the difference of the Color in indoor and outdoor. Hmmm... the albino red colors are more intense.
