    Default giants?

    ok well this question is for you breeders,

    i was wondering is there any chance a giant popping up in a normal spawn?

    i was just thinking that out of all the spawn logs ive seen ive never seen or heard any one say they got a giant out of there spawn

    i kinda want to do a experiment with my up coming spawns,
    you know how fry discreet a hormone to stunt there siblings as some sort of defence mechinism well i would like to try and keep one or two fry in there own tank from very very young and see if they grow larger or quiker then there siblings in the grow out tank
    i know my fry grow quicker wheni jar them younger and the size of the jars make a difference to the speed they grow too (the bigger the better)
    so also while the sperate fry is in his own tank he will have alot of space maybe that will help growth too

    or maybe i would like to add something to the tank like carbon to see if that absorbs the grown stunting hormone


    but i dunno i thought id throw my idea out there and see if anyone thinks im crazy or just overthinking things LMAO

    anyways any input is is appreciated

    HI Divy, I would not say that it's impossible. Check this link out: [Registered users only can see links. ] or this one: [Registered users only can see links. ]

    Your experiment you are contemplating . . . PLEASE keep me posted. And if you think I can help you in any way, just let me know. I'll be happy to. This is interesting!!!

    thought you might like those Divy. There still seems to be lots of unknowns with the giants, but it's interesting.
