    well the tank they are in is 18c atm the moment so naturaly they munch anything they can get a hold of

    but i weighed them today aswell and i was surprised how heavy they have become, so i realize i have been underfeeding them for a while, so from now on i will be increasing the food gradualy till it's up to around 2,5%

    i have been feeding them with 10 grams per day up till now but they weigh 270 and 380 grams, so that realy wount cut it anymore.

    well if they keep up at this rate they will outgrow the tank they are in (3000 liter quarantine tank)

    going to sweeden to work for 3 weeks tomorrow, then when i get back from that i will have a week off. if weather permits i will start the long awaited upgrade of my outdoor pond. (upgrade from 5000 liters to 30000 liters)

    but by the sound of it i will be working 3 weeks on 1 week off, for the next 6 months, so i should ahve a chance to get the pond upgraded. (and then get some koi to keep the sturgeons and goldfish company

    Only problem is that who ever built the old pond, was enjoying using concrete way too much.

    Been hammering away at it for 4 days strait
