In the air and I ain't comin down!
Let's talk Kelberi. These two have been a long road since there arrival I have tried everything I could UNTIL recently I finally got them to start eating from my hand. This is the first time in the three years I have owned them that they went top water. Oddly enough there diet has been strictly Feeders and they have had some LONG periods of no feeding. I would never let them die let's be clear I only starve to train. I really never starved any Cichla except these two. With that being said let me say this I have yet to see another Kelberi sp with such intense TRUE GOLD. I can't explain it you have to see it for yourself. They are as beautiful as they are stubbrun they are King of there 150g and still learning. Hope you enjoy at least a few of your Cichla like I do with these 2 it's been a fight with these 2 but I love em both. :naughty:

They are nothing short of stunning. I take it the orino eats feeders as well then...? What did they eat out of your hand? SOunds like its time to try hand feeding silversides.....
 
14 and 13 Arrty thanks man.

Gangster the Orino the Tem and the Occell all eat Hikari and Talapia and the occasional feeder if I dump them in they may get one. The Xingus eat Talapia/Talapia w/Hikari and feeder. The 24's eat ONLY feeders :( but there coming around slowely but getting it. I will give them what they want alway's I never understood why you would not offer live as well in there diet but I do understand the risk of disease and such. But none the less there in the best tank for me to train them since the Xingu are being trainned as well.
 
HCR is right in saying you really need to see these bad boy's personally, because these photos don't do them justice !! I got the opportunity to see these guy's up close when I went over to Mikes to buy his tem...You almost need glasses these dudes are popping the gold.

Good job Mike!!
