They are growing much faster than I expected. They seem well developed for their age compared to the pictures in the breeding section. Or is this just my imagination?
And to give you an idea of their size...
Baby pics! You asked for it!

wow mindy, they are coming on great! You should be so proud of them Do you have them in with the parents or are they in a grow out tank now? Agree with Adam on the growth rate, if I didn't know my baby bristlenoses were coming from one batch I wouldn't believe it myself - some of them have massively outgrown their brothers and sisters.

Can anyone tell if I need to start feeding them yet? To look at them, they seem to have a smidge of egg sac left, but I can't be sure... The one stuck to the side seems to be showing his belly, which would seem to indicate no egg sac, but I'm unsure.
Should I begin trying to feed them little bits now and see if they're interested? Advice please!
It's all been pretty easy up to now as they can take care of themselves pretty much... but soon it will be up to me to make sure they're fed. I want to get it right!

Hi Mindy,
I would start putting food down for them in the next day or two. Problem is some fry absorb their yolk sac quicker than others. When the yellow colouring has disappeared from their stomachs they are ready to start feeding. To be on the safe side I start feeding just before, if they are still living off their yolk sacs they will not feed anyway. You will know if they start to feed as their stomachs will darken in colour.
Hope this helps.

If that was last night they will probably be eating by Sat night. To be on the safe side however, I would put a couple bits of tetra prima in tonight and take them out in the morning.
The Key now is to make sure they always have fresh food available at the early stages. feeding them a little often if the best bet. You will probably find that they will go through a tetra prima grain each easy.
