I am just wondering how long I need to do a W/C everyday on my fry tank.. They are 2 weeks old today, and they are between 1/2in and 3/4in.. They are now eating bloodworm and crushed flakes..

Thanks Guys!

basically, water test would be your basis..... with nitrate higher than 20.
they are supposed to thrive in a water condition similar with the parents, thus,
whatever water parameters for the grown up, they should have the same...

oh my goodness, you have been doing daily water changes?? You are a trooper thats for sure. I have bred quite a few Lake Malawi cichlids and daily water changes are not required. At that size, I would do one water change weekly. What are you running for filtration? A sponge filter? Also what are you feeding and how many times a day?

They are in a 20 Long, with a tetra whisper 40 HOB.. I have been feeding them First bites, now crushed bloodworm, and crushed flakes. And I feed small meals 4 times a day!
