It's been a long awaited fish in my want list :)
These guys are pretty much new in the Indian Market... So first time I'm seeing one... Got myself 12 pieces... Will be offloading a few in course time...
Although, I tried to go through some of the ID thread, still unable to identify mine... In guessing mono... So what y'all think?

Look like mono or occel. Make sure you have a high temp w/ those little guys. Highly airated..temp 86-87. Stay away from feeders if possible. Try frozen bloodworms.
 
Thank you guys.... Will want to see them through.... I have home bred guppy and other fry...
I setup a separate tank for them... Running a 2217 and aerated sponge filter as well...

Ok, need a lil help... Just lost one lil one I see some red patches in the tail... So I assume I would have to medicate the whole lot... Y'all know what it is and what I need be doing?

Nobody?...
I checked on the rest... They have no signs of this and eating well too.... Gave them fries from what I breed...
I'm just concerned with should I be taking any precautionary measures if it is parasite or some bacterial infection...
Should I be adding salt or meal fix?

Cichla in the wild has a diet composed of mainly fish. Thus, many predatory fishes are engineered with strong immune systems to handle w/e disease their prey might have. If your feeders are in a nice big tank and the water parameters are always maintained, you shouldnt have to worry much. The only time that you would have to worry about the feeders is when they live in a neglected tank, the water is never changed, etc.

The reason why I recommend live feeders is because you can control the nutritional value. Before i feed my guppies to my cichlas, I always feed the guppies nutrient rich flakes and make sure theyre nice and plump before dropping them in.

Did you heat up the water before putting them in?
