Cichla kelberi Rio Tiete

I wish I those gold zullies were on the west. Shipping is a kick in the teeth

It is $85 for me and I live in Ohio.

These were the 4"-4.5" kelberi. All six are doing well. Currently there are two pigs, two that are healthy weight, one that's flat our smaller and one that is on a hunger strike.

The pigs eat anything and everything, including pellets. The two healthy looking ones and the small one eat frozen mysis and blood worms. Hunger strike is starting to eat frozen foods, but really, really holds out for live food.

The spangling is only in the rear dorsal and a tiny bit in the top tail so far....but they have a lot of growing up to do.

Congrats on having two pellet eaters at such a small size!

Update: Some are getting to be fatties. Five eating pellets, one stubbornly refuses to eat anything besides feeders.
