Doing water changes
My Butti is such a picky eater he'll eat one food for a while then he wont touch it and i gotta change his food again and this isnt over months this is within a week. What do you guys feed yours also mine is about 2 years old and hes only about 9 inches roughly. I know him being a picky eater has part to do with his growth but how can i make him eat more. Also he's in a 55 by himself filters are XP3 and ac500 50% water change a week maybe twice. Ive fed bloodworm hikari gold mealworms bloodworm krill algea wafers crickets cichlid sticks, Im running out of things to feed him. any advice?????

Yes, Doviis are the best cichlids

what? random!

oh well you can try starving! after a while he will have to eat but if it goes to much over a week try another food! but maybe mix them and give a couple diff kinds of food at the same times and he will get kind of frenzied and eat whatever! and try so healthy feeders! like baby cons! my 8" jack eat them half inch when they move away from the parents!
 
Yeah he is a pain Hes really liking crickets lately so I am just going to do less feedings see if he will eat more
 
Starve him for a couple of days.
A week max. Then he will eat.
If he is ticked-off he won't eat for a couple of weeks.
 
i think you should let him know whos boss he can eat what gets put in front of him, if he dont like it then he dont eat it he can starve:)
