what size do festae start getting there true red colours?

They get them when they mature at around 4",i knew they were from rick how many have you got?

 

[mbunafishkeeper]

all 6 of them arrived today, pics later how quick do they grow??

 

[Dreamsofpeace54]

bout a 1/2 inch a month, they grow very slowly but give them good water and good diet and they're colors will be great.

 

[mbunafishkeeper]

what kind of diet?? what foods?

 

[Dreamsofpeace54]

brine shrimp, bloodworms, small cichlids pellets (NLS, Hikari), Flakes, Krill, you can even give them itty bity guppies (fry) if u have tiny festaes.

ok cool, i got some brine shrimp, bloodworm etc.

they are 2" but i dont got any guppy fry, and that aint good for them anyways.

gutloaded with proper foods and quarentined?

theres mostly proteins, so after quarentine (youd have to breed your own guppies to get fry anyways) and a good diet i dont see how they would be harmful. but to each his own i suppose.

 

[mbunafishkeeper]

i never said they are harmful, i said they aint good for them
