Green terror advice

[dempsy12]

I got this guy a few months ago and he has been doing really well. he has grown about an inch since i got him and he eats very well. but he is pretty picky.. he doesnt like anything veggie. he pretty much will just eat BW and his pellets(hikari cichlid) he wont eat the veggie pellets tho. i have tried peas too he just spits them out, any advice on this?
also i was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on his age. he is round 7 or 8 inches.
also do you think his KOK will get any bigger with age?
thank you!

1. nice fish.
2. Yes, i'm sure his kok will increase in size with age
3. I wouldn't worry about veggies in his diet, as i'm quite sure that veggies are not on the menu in the wild.

Pellets are designed to give fish a well balanced diet

okay thank you very much

can anyone guess his age?

Can't guess his age, but I just wanted to say that's a beautiful specimen you got there.

this is just a guess, but at least 3 years or so..it does not look like a young fish to me, and depending on conditions it was in prior to you might be older.

3, maybe 4 or 5? Depends.
