This guy's just a grow out from an LFS near me. I've had him for a while now and he's been quite the slow grower, but recently his progress has rocketed. You're male is for sure an absolute stunner. Love the intense colors he's showing. Just hope mine continues to grow like that
Beunos Aires, but I have managed to keep some chunky Colombian Red Fins with this guy. Like Covetous said he's only around 3-3.5", so I don't think you'd see much of a problem using tetras as dithers at this stage, or at least I haven't. I've actually had the tetras pictured a while and had to move them over when I got rid of my South American biotope.
He is now and I've already seen a drastic improvement. I try to feed him a variety of foods, such as Hikari pellets (gold,staple,excel), dehydrated bloodworm, flake and some micro pellet (mainly for the tetras). Any other recommendations?
worms are great, any crustacean is an awesome treat. However they aren't always the easiest to get.
Ok. My LFS don't seem to stock it, but I know it's easy enough to find online nowadays. I'll defiantly give it a go. Thanks.
Haha, I'll defintly love to give that a go once he gets big enough. Would Signal Crayfish and Earthworms be ok?
You can order southern delight from Amazon or ASC, but they aren't going to be selling anything anymore after they are through with their current stock. And if signal crayfish are the normal ones then yes
I live in England, but the rivers here are heavily populated with American Crayfish since they've pretty much culled the British variation. Should imagine it's fine. I've fished up a few Crayfish and tried them myself
