Made me feel stupid lol
But I like them both.
They're both showing lots of potential. Can't wait to see all grown up.
What are you feeding yours as of right now?

If you need em on pellets do this....

Take a cube of frozen blood worms. Thaw them out. Drain the liquid. Take the pellets of your choice and crush them up. The stinkier the better. Put them in the bw and mix em up into a paste. Feed w/ a spoon a little at a time so the mixture doesnt hit the bottom of the tank. WIth a big group or once they get used to it they will hammer it right off the spoon. Every few days add more pellets. Eventually they will be eating strictly pellets.

^^^^Make this a sticky already!

Thanks- These guys have been eating bloodworms with hikari carnivore pellets mixed in (broken in 1/4's) then re-frozen. The pellets absorb the bloodworm taste, but are still whole so they start taking them well. They also get freeze dried krill & vita-chem. 1/2 of this tank will take the pellets by themselves, but not the 2 tocantins. So I am in the middle of trying to starve them for 1-2-3 days & see if they give in! Also, the fish I got from you are doing great- except one kel hurt it's eye. I'm trying to treat with salt & water change every day. It looks better, but I don't know if it will have permanent damage or not yet.
 
That's a good feeding regiment...but man I have to get a couple of those Tocantins they look really good..I couldn't get them when Mark had them...I had a death in the family and had to pass on them.
