Very nice

Thank you.

Uaru are usually really easy when it comes to food. They basically eat anything and everything, but amphiacanthoides and fernandezyepezi. They probably just need more time to settle in first.

They still don't like pellets but I'm not too worried. Going to spoil them for a few days with worms i swapped the Geos out with some GBR grow-outs And they are a little outgoing now.

Thanks. I like them both. U. amphiacanthoides has a lot of personality.

Thanks guys

Mark - I'm feeding them 3-4 times a day as you suggested. They love black worms and wouldn't touch romaine, lol

Mine didn't really show interest in veggies until they got larger, probably around 5 - 6". I used to put whole romaine leaves in the tank with clips and leave them. After a few hours, I'd come back to find just the white stem left. They'd eat all the green leafy bits off and leave the rest.

The bigger ones I got last year loved romaine. Problem was the green poop....disgusting...

Ontogenetic dietary shift maybe? Just read some interesting papers on this in juvenile neotropical fish.
