2. I fed mine 3-4 times a day and they did well but it would probably be better to give more frequent tiny meals.

3. Just remember to look for the gravid spot and not look for pretty tails or gonopodiums. I found it easier to see from behind the fry than the side and once I'd been looking for 5 minutes I could spot them a mile away (magnifying glasses made it even easier although with your young eyes it might be a piece of cake). Also the males can't mate until they develop their gonopodium so you have a few weeks longer to make sure they are not females and to remove them from the tank. It would be far better to accidentally put a female in with the males than put a single male in with all your females.

4. I'd say about a centimetre long if you feed thae adults well and have hiding places.

5. Not sure

I agree with Maggie that most of this has been answered before but I like the way it was asked and set out and it will make a good addition to the QuickLinks once the answers are all in. I don't want to clog up the QuickLinks page with too many links as that would put people off so I like it when something like this comes along where anyone searching will get multiple answers at once.
