any idea of growth rate and best diet want these guys to grow, also what about tank mates right now they are in a tank with peacock cichlids, wondered about adding a couple oscars or severum
^^^you'll be fine as long as they are the same size. Pellets are your best bet. Frozen blood/brine etc is a good way to start if they wont accept pellets.
My local pet store has a red belly severum, at least thats what I think its called, (I cant remember) I was interested in and plenty oscars. just wanted to be sure the peacock cichlids wouldnt kill them
