Hello everyone I was curious about peacock growth and what is the best food besides live food? I will also be trying many foods and uploading how successful they are!

They are voracious feeders .. they eat alot and poop alot.. I feed my 3" with krill , market prawn , pellets and blood worm .. bring in variety .. they grow fast .. likely 1 o 1 n half inch a month .. water parameters should be good and temp .. all the best buddy .. post some pics of it

Right now I’m feeding my 2.5” baby pbass freeze dried shrimp, freeze dried bloodworms, frozen bloodworms and frozen krill. It keeps spitting the pellets out but I’m gonna keep trying. No live food for mine.

My little guys ate live black worms in the LFS. I started with "my" tank raised live bearer's. Got them use to the feeding hatch and being hand fed. Then would through a pellet in and they would smack it. Just like it say's some place in hear. Plus I had 2 little white tiger Oscars showing that all things coming out of the hatch is food. They don't get feeders any more, They like freeze dried krill, pellets 2 kinds and earth worms. And eat cut up frozen cocked shrimp.
