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.
sounds fun. Yeah I am getting frustrated with the slow growth, but I am not in a huge hurry.
 
i am getting another, a guy is throwing it in because taking a while to ship my gt's i'll never give mine up full grown they are impressive

:grinno: Nope. That's a Festae.

Give it another few days and then give it some bloodworms. They are like fish candy

clear a little cloudy normal consistency what would you suggest
Check the second and third on this

same holds true with other fish, you need to distinguish if its the white "white" or white "clear". My hope is whitish clear with air bubbles. That is constipation, and that would cause your fish not to eat. My fish had this, so I just stopped feeding for a bit. Some people try peas after, to help, but not all fish will eat them.
 
You may want to try some sort of veggie tablet or wafer, if i'm correct, festae's enjoy a little green in their diet also. that should help knock out the probable constipation, as well add other vital nutrients for a healthy fish.
