beef heart for young devils

[large_cichlids]

its obvious proper water chemistry and and tank size can increase growth for juvie cichlids,but what about small amounts of beefheart.Im trying to get my reddevils nice and big.I know i have to be patient,but would beefheart help increase growth and color?

It may, I don't know if it would want to eat it. You would be better off just using high quality pellet foods such as hikari gold and the high life spectrum pellets. Colors will be nice and your devil will be big before you know it.

How big is the fish now? If it is really small (< 2") you could try frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp cubes. These foods have good amounts of carotene and are also high in protein.

they are both under 4 inches,and their staple is cichlid gold.

Add freeze dried & frozen Krill to their diet and watch them fatten up fast.

beefheart is good stuff. very high in protein. frozen blood worms are good, too.

mine eat the hell out of it.

My friend made a beefheart/shrimp/spurilina/gelatin mixture and his fish wouldn't eat it so I got 5 or so pounds for free. My amphilophus species look like piranhas when they eat the stuff.

my reddevils seem to love it,but like i said their main diet is cichlid gold.

nls is my preferred staple but the beef heart once a week has really bulked up my amphilophus species. I only feed it once or twice a week though and its usually the day before waterchanges. They always get greens/spurilina after beefheart day though.
