How To Gain Weight In 7 Days, Development of my SVR Options

[MachoRanchu]

Hi

I'm really glad to share the development of this Thai SVR I acquired. It was so skinny when I first got it, as it just came from a concentration camp.

Sorry for the poor picture quality as it was screen captured from a video.


I QT it in a 1.5 ft tank all by itself and decided to feed it after the 3rd day. I gave it 7 meals a day (consist of growth pellets, FBW, spirulina granulat, hair algae from my main tub, green peas), plenty of suntanning and also 80% WC daily.

This was the end result after 7 days


It's now swimming happily in my main tub with my other 2 ranchus after its QT.

Thanks for the comments and input guys.

For feeding, I make sure this fella can finish his food in 3mins. There is an interval of 2 and 1/2 hours before the next feeding commences. Also I believe genetics also play a big part in the growth. I have 2 other ranchus under the same feeding regime but their growth is not as drastic as this pc.

Besides diet and genes, water parameters must play an important part in the growth of the fish. That is something I still need to work on.
