Just wanted to know, is a 10 gallon sufficient to grow demasoni fry large enough to throw back in with the colony?

Not really. I use a 20g long and I have some issues. They are little demons at a small size, lol. Ud prob lose quite a few in a 10 g.

20 gallon would be the smallest grow out you would want to go with.

I just grew out a dozen in a 10gal. I had no problems. They are all safely swimming in my 75gal now. How many you looking to raise?

All depends on the quantity, to be honest. I've grown 'em out in a 10, and I've grown 'em out in a 20L. For one clutch a 10 will be fine. Be prepared for how long they'll occupy that tank though. ;-)

About a week ago I stocked my 55gal with 11 decent sized dems. That being said, I am ready to raise as many fry as are produced.

I already have a 10 gallon fry tank setup so i was hoping that between the ten gallon and my large breeder baskets I will have the space to properly raise/circulate the fry back into the 55. I guess if i ran into problems i could always pick up a 20g on craigslist for cheap.

I have no problem getting them to 1" in a 10g. After that they either get sold or moved to a larger growout tank, or put back in the main tank. I often have 1-2 broods in the 10g with a new clutch in the breeder box as well. When the new clutch is ready, I do a tank shuffle. As always when talking about dems, I point out that I have not had serious aggression problems with my colony like others, so that may make a big difference.
