Hi,
I have 3 larger cichlids, I have Ike, a 15in Male Red Devil, Lola, a 5 in female midevil, Mr. Kink a 6 in male red isletas.. None of these fish were given to my as fry. Ike was 10 yrs old, Lola and Mr. kink were about 3in big. They already had an established diet of Ike, Top fin Large cichlid pellets Ike refuses to eat anything else. When i got lola and mr kink they were eating Tropical fish flakes. Now they are eating shrimp pellets every night and Tetra cichlid floating pellets in the mornings. They pretty much turn their noses up to any other foods I try including Blood worms, brine shrimp live and frozen, oysters even live fish just get killed and not eaten. With Ike, I went my what his owner told me to feed him. My red devil and Midevil have lost almost all Red color. I am unsure I am feeding them properly. I have had them for about a year and a half. Any help or advice on what is the best type of food to feed them or any other advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
