just got in 4 guyana ocells from snookn21..they came in at about 1 1/2''..going to update this thread once every month starting today..dont have a exact idea on diet yet..two of the 4 already took pieces of tilapia..they are still ssettling in..i'll post a video of them tonight..my aquarium lights come on at 8pm..i also rather do a video due to little ones are always hard to take pics of..when i have more info on diet ex. i'll post more info..

Ive been looking to pick up 1 - 2 more pbass, do you mind sharing how much you paid for these? Were they shipped?

Also I didnt even think of trying to feed my guys tilapia. How do they like it, and are they growing at a good rate on this? Right now my guys are on frozen silversides, frozen shrimp, and bloodworms. Past 2 days its been shrimp. I started the switch from live to frozen a week ago today and they're doing great.

Ill be sticking around for this thread

i prefer frzn shrimp over tilapia..but for little cichla tilapia is softer then shrimp and easir for them to eat..i'll pm you the info on these guys..

sweet..i'll def take a vid tonight..







2 out of my 4 ate tilapia and one ate tiny pieces of carnivore pellets..IMO when getting baby cichla esp if trying to avoid feeding live food start them out of frozen shrimp or tilapia..as they adjust quicker..but then thats just my opinion..would love to see pics of your little guys..even though they are a bit bigger then mine would love to see how ours turn out ..

I will get some pics or a vid soon. They are 3 little pigs. I will pick up some tilapia or GUMBO shrimp too.
