Looks nice! good job getting him on cichlid sticks. What else are you feeding him?

 

[jworth]

he mostly gets the cichlid sticks and freeze dried krill. he grabs shrimp and talapia from time to time when i am feeding everyone else but he only eats from the top.

Yeah,I didnt know that they could be trained onto pellets.

oh yeah. it didnt take any work at all either. just hand fed him feeders. then moved onto krill. he hit those a couple times and spit them and then started eating it so i started to just throw them in and he ate them. then moved on to the tetra jumbo cichlid sticks which are orange like the krill and an inch long and tossed them in and was good to go!
