festae wont't eat

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
clear a little cloudy normal consistency what would you suggest
 
yeah thats a male festae. just give him a few days he'll come around. maybe add some more hide spots for him.
 
did move him to a different tank with less aggresive smaller cichlids with lots of hiding spots pretty much hides most of time
 
he did start eating again not as aggressive as he used to. He is very skiddish. I have to feed him and hide to watch him eat. spends a lot of time hiding. Does anybody know how long I should wait before I put him back in my 150
 
just started feeding drieed krill about a week and a half ago. He would pick off the convict fry every once and while in my big tank. always fed had him a mixture of flakes and hikari gold pellets before that

you know krill should only be fed once or twice a week

earth worms? Seriously? I've never heard of that for cichlids... sounds interesting. Personally I wouldn't put him on a special diet I'd just let him work it out
yes earthworms my fish love them,as far as that pair they are sick.:drool:
yeah i would switch diet from time to time but he's a great looking festae i've been going through festaes for several years now i'll order a batch from jeff then they take too long to grow then i'll sell them then i see somebody else with some festaes and i'll order more,then sell them cause they take too long to grow,but now i just got another batch about two months ago i said i'm sticking with these but my wife said yeah right but i really am besides we made a bet,she said if i keep them for a year she'll buy the rims for my truck i was about to purchase so stay tune for updates.
