Hey cichla gurus. Just wondering does anybody have grown rate information on kelberi bahia? Just wondering what type of growth spurts I can look forward to. Mine are already pellet trained, but they will be also be feed shrimp and rosie reds. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

I bought mine at SA last march as a bday present to myself. Sadly I lost 3 to a storm nj had last January or February. Now I have a generator just for my 3 tanks 
. I have my 12" alpha male Bahia in my 180 now with 2 tems and an azul. Here's a pic of him. Currently without his hump.

Just personal preference but if your kelberi are pellet trained i would stop feeding rosies because they dont do anything health and growth wise to bass and could potentially othreaten them taking pellets if you feed rosies on a regular basis. just my opinion...it is cool watching bass chase after and eat live food but hikari gold and massivore will allow them to grow faster and produce better coloration as they grow.
othreathen? haha meant to say threaten the pellet training work you've already done. Lets see some pics Hyphy!
