cichla question about feeding

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah that is a tough decision. I got one of the kels on shrimp and the other ate his first food stick yesterday. Maybe try an Oscar instead of the barbs.

Glad to hear they are eating better. Yeah I might give it another couple days and if something doesn't change I think I will get rid of the tinfoils and try and pick up an oscar. Thanks for the recommendation.
 
I had success with throwing several pellets in from a foot or two away, making them splash or hit the lids making noise. That seems to trigger pbass to hit whatever it was and eat it. I've fed hikari sticks, sinking carnivore, sinking cichlid gold, just not massivore cause its too dang expensive.
