Im curious about this I had a problem with my flowerhorn fry bloating before they reached 1.5 inch do you know of any other species that have bloat issuescongrats on the sweet pickup! I think I read somewhere at about that size bloating is no longer an issue but good luck regardless. Ive lost some juvies due to bloat.
Exactly. I found it more tricky to raise a group of Istlanum juvies for this reason. The more dominant one tends to grab more food and can bloat, then it goes down the chain basically. So much easier to raise a couple so you have more control over who eats what.Firemouths istlanum Helleri + many other cichlids are prone to bloat especially when younger... It's down to over feeding, water conditions and stress
