it's usually not hard to get them on pellets but personally I'd go the tilapia route its MUCH cheaper. If you do pellets get hikari carnivore pellets they are small and soft enough for most small polys. Also I'd put in several short lengths of pvc
If they are African cichlids.....Are you currently doing the lake Malawi salts and buffers? I'm guessing no because of the plants being alive lol.I have no clue of the cichlids, just know they are African. They came with a tank I got. These 3 are the only ones I could save from the **** conditions the last owner had them in.
I have drift wood already in the tank but they have dug a hole under it already. I'll have to toss in some more rocks and attach some sword to it. I know my pleco loved to hide in the plants.
I use 1.5" pipe in my tanks just make sure if the polys start getting near that thickness remove the pipeShould the pvc be sized for them now or get it around 8 inches long and as 1.5 or 2 inch pipe?
Easy peasy for smaller ones. At that size they are almost definitely captive bred so they should already be eating pellets. So not at all difficult really, just make sure pellets get past the cichlidsOh I was reading that they don't eat pellets, how hard is it too train them to switch over to that? Currently do frozen shrimp and pellets, but I jump back and forth every couple days or so.
