Picked up this absolute beaut about 2 days back. It’s approximately 1.8-2 inches and is already quite feisty. I’d love to hear from the cichlid and FH experts on this forum,
1. Any guesses on the gender of this fish?
2. Type and grade of fish? One of my buddies tells me this is a Red Dragon
I’ve been feeding it a variety of foods: ground up cichlid pellets loaded with astaxanthine, thawed shrimp that has been boiled in water for about 10 minutes, freeze dried bloodworms, boiled de-shelled peas and another flake food.
I plan on eventually shifting to Hikari Gold as soon as it’s a bit bigger.
Water changes, about 35% twice a week and gravel vacuuming once a week. It’s currently in a fully cycled 40G (QT tank) and I plan on shifting it to my fully cycled 90G which houses BPs that I will eventually rehome to a larger aquarium.
