Well so far they are not eating a WHOLE lot... also does anyone know how fast these little guys grow.. they are around an 1-2 inches and they are suppose to get up to 4-5 inches in a tank.
I've no experience with these fish but I can imagine you'll be going through food at quite a fast rate. Would it be worth try to make your own DIY recipe. There should be a few threads on forums across the web. One I've seen was a load of different vegetables and fish meats processed and frozen in slabs. If you added some vitamins to it, it would probably be quite a healthy and cost effective diet for them.
its a 125 that they are in.. I will be getting them in a few weeks from my LFS.. I will take a video when I get the whole works in. What kind of flakes do you all use? right now i am using a floating chichlid pellet.
They do not care for pellets - at least mine don't. Any flakes will work well.
They actually like feeder fish - guppies, or rosy reds - they are swallowed whole, but I do not do that anymore, since the fish they live with, are faster.
