Regular Member small_ranchu Posted February 22, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2007 I was just wondering in the best interest of my oranda haw can I help in his develpoment and the development of his wen? Here is what I would do, -give them 10x fiteration. -do not add anymore into the tank. -feed them every 4 hours. (small a mount of food, different kind) -do a 70% water change twice a week. For wen, I would feed them Hikari Lionhead, bloodworm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member glitterfish Posted February 22, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2007 Very cute fish! He probably will not keep the black though so be prepared! My Martin looked just like that when I got him but now hes all orange with white on the tail. I still love him just the same though. For the wen you want high protein! Fred made some good suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sushi67 Posted February 22, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2007 small_ranchu gave great ideas, but I don't know if I would remove 70% of the water twice a week. Maybe a total of 70% removed twice a week, like 35% one day and 35% the next. I do 35%-50% water changes once a week and my baby oranda(already had a pretty nice wen) is growing like crazy. BTW- I really like the round plump body on your new baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jon Posted February 22, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2007 He looks great To help with the wen development, i would suggest feeding bloodworms 2-3 times a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member small_ranchu Posted February 22, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2007 This is why I do 70% twice a week. I feed my fish at 6:30 AM(progold) , 10:30 AM(Hikari Lionhead/ Japan Ranchu Lord/Omega One mix), 2:30 PM(mix again), 6:30 PM (blood worm) and 8:30PM ( algae flake or pea). Becareful, I only feed small amount each time. Bloodworm is easy to digest, so I can feed again after two hours at 8:30. Since I feed very frequent, Nitrate build up very fast. I like to keep nitrate under 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member small_ranchu Posted February 22, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2007 not until now. I am doing this for more than 5 months already. As long as the media is in the water, the cycle should be ok. But I do w/c very fast though. Finish 90 g within 25 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
