Any luck getting them eating,I got 4 rio panucos and have tried pretty much everything.They taste and spit out most of the food ,I’ve soaked it tried soft foods but not much seems to their liking. Their bellies aren’t sunken maybe that sift through the gravel or eat algae.Hopefully they’ll come around any suggestions??
Same here, they'll pick but not aggressive eaters yet. They come running to the front of tank when I feed them but will only mouth the pellets and spit them out.
Just an observation...but isn't it amazing how a few years ago you couldn't find Beani? Now there's a selection. Happens a lot with the various species. Good looking fish. Enjoy the hobby.
I’ve had mine two weeks now very outgoing little guys,wish they’d eat more though.Mine are all about 3 inches I’m guessing they were raised on pellets,so after a day or two I figured they would eat with gusto.Peas are the only thing they really get after good.I use nls thera a, nls cichlid,northfin veggie,northfin cichlid,omega one floating,omega one veggie crumbles,hikari biogold all 1 mm or smaller.Ket me know when yours take to something.Water temp is at 75
Mine are eating Algaemax , Bug Bites and Omega one veggie. They're not huge eaters but there getting much better, for the 1st 2 weeks they didn't eat anything. water temp is 75 or so.
Very nice. I just picked up a group of san Pedro fry from Gus Sandoval and mine are muching down on some spirulina flakes and crushed NLS cichlid pellets. They seem to scavenge more at this size off the bottom than to eat from the surface.
