Regular Member kortniee Posted October 13, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thank you all for the compliments. I have been really bad about this lately because of moving house and things... I really need to at least update this with a new picture. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kortniee Posted January 1, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Okay... so. After falling out of doing this for a long time, I have developed a new growth tracking plan! This is necessitated by the fact that I now have three fish and cannot do the worms on the side of the tank thing anymore. I rigged up a grid on the outside of a 2.5 gallon I had laying around. Here are some shots! (My fishes were not too happy with this process; much of this might've had to do with them being in a bucket for a few hours prior, because I was putting substrate in their tank. We shall see how this goes next time.) I also weighed the little guys while I was at it. And the big guy. Peanut: 35 grams, 3.25 inches. Filbert: 11 grams, 2 inches. Macadamia: 8 grams, 1.5 inches. Edited January 27, 2013 by Courtney fairly significant typo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THUNDER Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Where is Peanut now? I bet he is a Coconut now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kortniee Posted January 19, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 19, 2013 Since its only been a few weeks since the last pictures I posted of the Nut, he looks pretty much the same as he did then. His largeness does still surprise me, though! I post tank shots pretty often, Haley. I'm sure there will be more soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kortniee Posted January 27, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 27, 2013 Update time! Peanut: 35 grams, 3.25 inches. Last month: 35 grams, 3.25 inches. Filbert: 11 grams, 2 inches. Last month: 11 grams, 2 inches. Macadamia: 9 grams, 1.75 inches. Last month: 8 grams, 1.5 inches. So the only one who did any growing is Macadamia. Maybe I need to feed more. I am not positive I'm accustomed to feeding three fish rather than just the one... I have noticed that the overhead shots are much more accurate for measuring purposes. Maybe it's the lack of distortion from a pane of glass between the water and the camera? I still think the side shots are good, though, for overall body appearance monitoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dnalex Posted January 29, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wow. I like the new measuring system! I'm also impressed that you fed just enough to maintain status quo! Definitely feed more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ahardeay Posted January 29, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have added bloodworms to my daily feeding and have seen growth spurts in all my fish, they like it too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jellyballoo Posted January 31, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wow that's awesome! Peanut looks completely different! Can't wait to see how my baby's will look in a years time! This is such a great idea but it would be pretty time consuming doing it for 8 fish lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
