[preston5321]

hello monster fish keepers, i'm new here and thought id finally make my first post. my girlfriend just bought me home a black diamond as a bit of a suprise for my 150l tank its only about 2 inches long. Anyone on here with much experience regarding the fish? like how fast will it grow? good food to feed it? im currently feeding it cichlid pellets and flake. any help would be much appreciated.

thanks ryan.

I have one that I picked up in August when he was about 2" inches long. Now he's probably between 4 and 5 inches.

Feeding your polleni a good pellet is the most import thing. I feed mine 3 different types of Hikari Cichlid pellet along with crickets and thawed shrimp.
