| you must have quite large gravel then - its normal - they grow fast for the first two months then start to slow down - I believe the crowding has an effect on growth too so if you leave them in your main tank - theyll probably hold their own and soon grow. My LFS took em off me when the fish where about 2inches long (2 months old) but nature being what it is - no hard n fast rules. just feed em like adult BN's but dont be surprised by how much they can put away in those bottomless bellies  | |

| mine tend to have a couple of brrods then a break (of about a week) cruel as it may seem - if you simply leave the babies in the tank and not move them - nature will take its course - youll end up with 2-4 survivors at most | |
