Another question for all of you chocolate keepers... what do you feed yours? I've been using northfin jumbo cichlid and hikari floating small sticks ( they love snapping up the floating pellets)

I noticed very quickly that my choc, and I've since found out I'm not alone here, spends a lot of time looking up at the surface. There's a clue there to what they're looking for......fallen insects!
So I bought a tub of small crickets for it to try. It absolutely loves them, so once in a while when I go down for dog food to my local pets at home I'll buy a tub of crickets too. Mine also loves worms from my worm heap, which it'll take from my hand. But they're just treats.
It's staple diet is NLS and Hikari sinking and floating pellets. Small algae wafers too. It'll also gulp in surface flake meant for my smaller fish.
In short, it's not picky at all, certainly not a difficult fish to feed.

Bobo eats Hikari pellets, medium earthworms, crickets and shrimp with mealworms (Aquatic Foods). He does the 'staring at the top' thing too.
Went downstairs this afternoon and found this. Look behind Bobo on the glass. EGGS.
As Klaus would say, I know nothing...N-O-T-H-I-N-G. ?

LOL, HER. Bobo is in a temporary tank until I can get another large one. I removed her from the main tank due to constant stress illness caused by the oscar and parrot.
The eggs are a surprise. She supposedly 'looks' like a male.
Oh haha didnt know SHE was by herself lol... well who knows maybe my big "male" isnt actually a male either.. time will tell
