  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
8. Is there certain "trigger fish" that'll encourage breeding?

Heres the secret recipe...STARVATION

Feed once a week, with very very little food for a month
no water change
Then overfeed and do water change , i fed mine exclusively on live feeder fish

17. Does frozen baby brine shrimp works? or does it have to be live?


I fed mine live brine shrimp, the fry died. Apparently these monster fish have very small fry, i think the brine shrimp scared the hell out of the fry. :ROFL: I was advised that the fry should be able to eat a certain species of brine shrimp that is smaller in size, at that time I could not get that type of brine shrimp.


20. How does it feel to be a grand daddy? :D


I sold the pair to a neighbor after three spawnings as I could not raise the fry. He was able to raised thousands of baby little cichlas..
