Yeah, I'd say do those feedings and do 100% water change a day and possibly cull the smallest

Yeah, but when you do more water changes you are removing more growth stopping hormones which if removed makes them grow faster

They won't be ready by then.
Minimum size is 3cm. It's not fair on the fish or the buyer if they are under that size.
They were fish at the last auction that were way under size.
This time round they wIll be held back if they are under size.

im guessing you don't know the growth rate of peacock bass aquatic dreams, they will easierly be over 3cm, but I don't want to sell them under 5cm.


and I would never even think about selling a fish under 3cm anyway :)

Matty :)
If you can get them to a good 3cm in about 3 weeks, then by all means bring them along ;)

And to answer you, yes I know all about PBass growth rates.

Can I please ask are there (non-alcohol) drinks available? How about not being a paid member do we have to pay to go in? Do people sell small lots of Livebearers? Does the seller or buyer pay the commission? I just want to know where I stand before I commit to attending

1. yes

2.no.

3.yes.

4.members can only sell / buy (seller pays the commission)     Non members can only buy / not sell, non members pay a commission. So it pays 10 fold to sign up on the night and become a member, we don't bite.
