when i first got into fish i had a regular peacock bass. second fish i owned. but it was when i was into cichlids and had a gladiator tank :screwy: but i recently got some wild cichla orinocensis from wes. i have four of them there about rosie sized eatting frozen bloodworms. whats really good to feed them at this sized?? im trying to get them with nice coloration.
 
What size are they?
 
rosie sized. like not more then 1.5 inches for sure.
 
try to find the fancy blood worms with the encapsulated vitamins and also try some freeze dried plankton 2 out of my 3 peacocks will eat the plankton. other than that guppies and then Rosie's. I would lay off the goldfish since they are bad for them. I am currently doing an experiment feeding mine GEL TEK color max so far so good I would recommend it. If nothing else it has a bunch of vitamins in it.

If you try the GEL TEK ignore the directions of feeding only the GEL and just soak their food in the stuff. (only way they will eat it)

Good luck and remember another important thing for healthy colorful fish is a clean tank
 
thanks johno im feeding frozen hikari bloodworms as of now. they eat like pigs. had them for like 3 days now and they already recongize me as a food source and come up to the lil area i drop in the bloodworms. its pretty crazy. does anyone have baby orinocensis pictures??

I hope the color gets crazy when it's old. :confused:
 
:) blood worms work really well for color but they should not be all of the p bass's diet mix in hei fang pellets they really bring ou the reds in the taill and black stripes they are also full of protien
