Default Method of raising of Hypancistrus Fries

Hi Folks,

In your experience, what is the ideal way of raising hypancistrus fries?

Say the fries reach the stage of being able to feed well on commercial food at about 1 to 1.5cm.

1. Continue to raise them in isolation box?
2. Pour them back into the parent tank?
3. Transfer them to grow out tank?
4. Any other method?

For me, i let them go back into the parent tank.

Can share the challenges to expect?

at what size are they considered stable enough for changing tanks?

My method, pour out and raise in separate tank. Good water quality is a must because i tend to feed alot just to make sure the fries eat till full full.
