Looking good F1. Was it tough to get him on NLS? My fella is still on bloodworms in the morning and a prawn then in the evening.
thanks. And nope. From the day I brought him home I threw in .5mm sinking NLS and he took it like a champ. Still offer talapia once a week plus there are breeding guppies, ghosties and bamboo shrimps in the tank which I'm sure he picks off.

Now he's on 3mm NLS which he can barely fit in his mouth but he chomps them down.

And its still up for debate weather he is species Serrasalmus or Pygopristis specifically Denticulata, was bought as Guyana Rhom dime size, but JP and some other pros think he may be a denti so we shall see as he gets bigger! Either way he is very near and dear to me!


I'm starting to wonder if the PH swings from the Co2 gas are worth it cuz I can tell it stresses him but he also loves the plants.....

Thanks F1, are the 3mm sinking?

Here's a pic of mine. Is it me or does it look a bit different to yours?
Yes and that is why buying young mystery P's is not only a gamble but fun! The 3mm are sinking, just don't offer food for a couple days then let a pellet hit the water, he will likely take it and either chomp it or spit it out but trust me if you get him on a good/balanced pellet and supplement protein you will see a noticeable difference in color and growth ime.
