...Oh. forgot one thing from my usual floating food rant. Feeder fish. You know, with the swim bladders with gas in them? Sometimes the same people worried about air in floating pellets feed feeder fish. Faulty logic.

This is it. I order it off amazon. It’s what I feed all my cichlids and pleco. They love it.
And one last question guys i seen that he is sometimes doing some sudden moves like throwing himself to gravel is it cos of stress?
or do they just do it sometimes like goldfish?

That sounds like flashing. He might have parasites if you see him doing that repeatedly. Even goldfish shouldn’t do that.
Flashing can also be due to an irritant in the water: water change needed, or dirty filter or substrate, for example. Also, I used to get some flashing after water changes back when I did the tablespoon of aquarium salt per 5 gals of water thing. I did some reading on salt years ago, that and experience convinced me it's not necessary-- an unexpected benefit was when I stopped adding salt with water changes I stopped seeing flashing after water changes.
Hi well my water is crystal clear so is mu substrate filters etc i only see this after he eats actually as i said earlier he only eats shrimp etc maybe its his trick to cut them in or idk maybe to digest them? or i heard that it may be cause of stress i dont want to apply medication right away
Yes, that was my point, really, not to question your water quality, but that flashing isn't always parasites.
