Why are you giving them feeder fish at that age? Just stick with flake food or baby cichlid pellets. They'll grow faster.
ive been breeding jacks for a while and the feeder minows every once in a while is good for them, i feed them cichlid pellets as there normal food. and i do changes on the water, its an over stocked tank so yeah its going to be dirty, as far as the gravel its better not to have it in a grow out tank. plus yes im going to sell them.
sorry i forgot to mention i usually have a twenty gallon filter on the tank and the tank itself is ten gallons, well anyways my filter just went out on me after years of good service and i have had no money to get a new one so i have been doing water change and i have a 15 gallon air stone in there.
You are doing a great dis-service to anyone that buys your fish cause you have already gotten them used to live food their own size.
dis-service as in bad service, and i cut the feeders in half so its not live food, the wont attack a live feeder even if its smaller then them
Aggression and predation are two distinctly different aspects of fish behaviour. There are lots of nasty vegetarian fish, and completely peaceful predators. A JD doesn't need to be taught how to establish and defend its territory.
