Thanks for asking. My little kelberis are doing well. Finally got the one that was holding out to eat - and that is only because I gave in and put in $10 worth of guppies.

Although its only been a little over a day, they plowed thorugh at least 1/3 of them already. Looks like I'll have to get them more this weekend. I noticed too though that their appetites have grown, since I increased the temp from 80 to 84-85F. I'll chalk that up to an increase in metabolism. haha.

So did you also pick up any of the Minas Gerais Kelberi from Jeff Rapps? The 10 you have were collected from a different locale right? Any ideas where? I'd be interested to see the difference for sure when they get bigger.

So I headed passed by my LFS today and, realizing I was going away from the weekend, decided to pick up some guppies. When I looked at what the woman gave me, I realized she gave me rosies instead. They were on the small side, so I smiled and took them anyway. Needless to say, my guys are munching down on them like its going out of style. I think I'm going to pick up 30-40 rosies every 7-10 days to spice up their diet.

Azuls coming this weekend

Jen,

I REALLY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FIRM BELIEVER IN LIVE FOODS FOR ALL CICHLA. JUST MY WAY OF DOING THINGS.

I AGREE, ACTUALLY. THE HIGHER THE TEMPS (TO A POINT) THE HIGHER THE DIGESTION RATE AND METABOLISM = THE MORE THEY EAT

NO, NOT YET. I REALLY SHOULD, BUT I HAVE BEEN HOLDING OFF HOPING HE HAS SOME OTHER GOODIES INBOUND. YES, THE ONES I HAVE ARE APPARENTLY FROM THE RIO GRANDE, IN SOUTH EAST BRAZIL.
